Carolina Beach, June 2011

A morning walk along the beach with your most favorite people is a pretty sweet way to start the day.
 We took a ferry boat from Fort Fisher to Southport, NC. Deane knew a little shave ice stand that was perfect for a hot day in the sun.
 The ferry reminded me a lot of the Drummond Island ferry I used to take as a kid with my family. It was a car and passenger ferry. But it was soooo much hotter than the DI ferry. And I would doubt they have an ice breaker on the front.
 It was a 30 min trip and the kids passed the time in the cabin playing cards and people-watching. Unfortunately, we missed the dolphins right outside the boat.
 We spent every day at the beach until we were all waterlogged. It was a bit smokey and there were occassional thunderstorms, but we managed to get in plenty of water time.
