The Crystal Coast



Our first week long vacation of the summer began at Emerald Isle, NC. We have really enjoyed this beach in the summer and fall months. It is full of beach houses and not many of those big high rises so the crowds are tame. This makes for a relaxing week at the beach. What a beautiful week it was! The kids enjoyed playing on the beach or right at the water's edge. The waves were rough while we were there. We only had rain on our last day but it turned out fine. We visited the Maritime museum in Beaufort to see the Blackbeard exhibit. Our trip would not be complete without a trip to the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores as well. These excursions were balanced with beach time and hang out time with some of our dear friends. I hope we will continue to be able to enjoy this week long beach adventure for many years to come!
