Memorial Day Weekend

SATURDAY

Celebrating Memorial Day at the beach is special. This year we had our Winston Salem family here.  Oldest daughter, her husband and 9 and 11 year old grandsons and Sally the rescue dog.  It is always a treat to have family with us.  Saturday we took the boat to Beaufort for breakfast. The boys went to the pool after lunch and Becky and I entertain the boys that evening while the parents had a date night. 

Fireworks were scheduled for 9:00 Saturday night.  The Miller's invited us over to their house where they have a ringside seat. Unfortunately, we were keeping the kids and dog, but could see the firework from our balcony. 

SUNDAY 

Sunday was a busy day. First we went dolphin watching. 

Have you ever tried to take a picture of a dolphin. Almost impossible!  Lots of pictures of the water. 

There were many, many dolphins. Finally got this shot as bad as it is. 

On the way back we stopped at Party Island. The kids, the neighbors, and the dog had a great time. 

Then it's off to the golf course. 

Back to the boat for a late afternoon cruise and refreshments with the neighbors. 

By this time, we were getting a little tired, but we still had not had dinner. 

Shrimp and grits is a tradition on our family gatherings, so we all pitched in and made a big pot. By this time we were so tired that we all turned in for an early night.  I can't keep up the pace like I used to.
