Vacation, part 2

During our vacation Mr. P. and I celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary. We stopped at a restaurant along the beach and ordered some boiled shrimp. One of my favorite foods.

We sat outside on the deck. This was our view of the beach across the street.

More views.

The weather was perfect. No humidity which was great.

We drove further down the beach and stopped again just to sit out on the beach.

This was the most people we saw at one time on the beach. And only because it was a Christina retreat center. There were hundreds of teenagers there playing volley ball, swimming, and just having fun on the beach.

As we were leaving that area I spotted a cactus that was blooming. Funny to see a cactus at the beach.

Here is the house I want to live in right across from the beach. LOL No, I could never afford it. But is nice to dream.

Here is the strip as we are driving back. Front beach (that is what the locals call that road) has changed so much since we left. It is really amazing. It is definitely a tourist town and that strip will be bumper to bumper after school lets out.

And because it is a tourist town you see tacky stuff like this. Mr. P. and I actually dined at this restaurant after our senior prom.

These next three photos are of new tourist attractions. So tacky.

That evening we had dinner with Mr. P's brother and our sister-in-law who still live in that same neighborhood where I met Mr. P. We had a good visit with them and we will see them again when their son gets married on September 1.
I also got to spend some time with my sister and her husband. They also celebrated an anniversary this month. My mom took us all out for dinner. Then I had fried shrimp. Yum!
Tomorrow I will share some quilty stuff. My mom is a quilter too. Come back tomorrow and see what she shared with me.

With Passion,
Carrie P.
