DAY FIVE AT OAK ISLAND

Today started with a family walk on the beach waiting for the tide to go out some.

A beautiful day and a hot one too....

After lunch we headed to the beach for a day of sun and fun.
Aunt T arrived shortly after driving down from Greensboro when her teaching workshop was over. G-son was anxious to have her here.


Now he had two special people to play with out in the ocean waves aunt T and uncle D.

Mom took her turn helping him ride the waves also.

As the afternoon wore on the clouds made their first appearance and sprinkles of rain came with them. It was a welcome relief  from the heat of today.
We came in around 5:00 and got ready to go out to eat seafood tonight.
There is a place just a couple blocks away that is known as a world famous seafood restaurant so we tried it out. It is at the Blue Water Point Marina and is called The Fish House.

We arrived a little after 6:00 and they said we would have to wait about 50 minutes to be seated. We hung out around the docks and watched some of the fishing charter boats come in.
This was a good seat for g-son.

The wait was only about 30 minutes and it was very, very well worth it as the food here was delicious.
Everyone ate everything on their plates, YUM, YUM  !!! I had grilled shrimp over a bed of grilled pineapple with a house salad ,grits and steamed vegies. I sampled some of d-in-love's blue crab stuffed flounder and it was delicious also. Both boys had the steam pot filled with all kinds of shell fish with corn and potatoes.
We all ate our fill and headed back to the beach house. Unfortunately #2 son has to leave tomorrow morning to get back home to sign some papers at the bank before the closing date of the house he is selling so we loaded the bikes up in his truck tonight so he can be on his way early in the morning.
#1 son and d-in-love got a movie to watch tonight so all the family is watching the movie while I blog.
News from home is still good according to sis-in-law Sandy tonight. She said it rained at her house but hadn't at the farm when she got over there this evening.
Thanking God for the safe travel for daughter to get here today and asking for traveling mercies for #2 son and #1 son's family tomorrow as they make their way home.
Good Night and God Bless.
