I am currently sitting in the van outside of a McDonald's in Petersburg VA using the free WiFi. We're slowly making out way up to our final destination (for this trip anyway) Bluegrass on the Bogs in East Wareham Massachusetts.
We stared the whole trip off just outside of Wilmington NC, in Kure Beach, where Matt's grandparents live. Unfortunately I can't find the charger for my camera, so there aren't going to be too many pictures of this trip... unless I take them with my phone I guess. Anyway, we had a blast at the beach! Its hard not to have fun at the beach, but the climate was right for the perfect beach trip, the only thing that could have been better is if we got to stay longer.
The biggest highlight for me was getting to surf. I had a chance to learn in Mexico last summer but for some reason I chickened out. Either way, I finally tried it and it was awesome! I'm pretty lousy at it, but I was getting better and better, swallowing more and more water and then getting progressively worse. Its takes a lot more energy than one might think, and I ended up with a couple bruises that are about golf ball sized if not a little misshapen from loosing my grip on the board in the shallower water. I would say that it was worth it and Matt was a fine surf instructor and I will certainly try it again next time I get the chance.
I'm really looking forward to getting back to New England soon, but the trip is going to be so short that I don't think I'll get to see any of my old buddies in Boston, New Hampshire or Maine! Looks like I'll have to be planning another trip soon!
