Our Get-away!!

Thanks to our wonderful friends, Graham & Emily who watched our kiddos, Parks and I had an in-town getaway for a night at Shell Island Resort here at Wrightsville Beach. I can't believe this is our home, it looks like a tropical vacation spot. We went out to a nice long dinner (forgot to get a picture there) and slept in (rather, made ourselves go back to sleep when we woke up at 7am), took a walk on the beach, & layed by the pool. So many simple pleasures that I used to take for granted. It was just long enough to miss our kids and feel a little anxious to get back to them. The only picture of both of us we took ourselves. Below is the view from our balcony. Can you believe this place is a 12 min drive from our house?

Our after dinner, sunset walk around the marsh. Didn't take any pictures on the beach walk, too busy hunting for shells. Thanks G & E, we had a blast!
