Topsail Island!

We just got back from a fabulous week on Topsail Island, NC. We went for a family reunion and just had so much fun, we're talking about going back. Plus, it was waaaarrrmmm! Hot even. I loved it. Above are some agreeable cousins. They had a blast together, even just eating cereal in the kitchen.

One of many family dinners. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of the shrimp boil night, but boy oh boy, it was my kind of dinner.

The weather was perfect. Highs in the 90s, lows in the 70s. Mostly sunny except for one quick but intense thunder storm. Our first (and probably only) of 2010! Exciting.

Here are the invisible cousins, being visible. They got on famously and spent every waking moment together. So nice to see. In fact, we didn't see much of them they were having so much fun on their own, hence the invisible cousins.

The view off the balcony. Yes, that is the ocean right there. The warm ocean. It was a great house and so wonderful that we could all fit in it together.

We really had a terrific week. I learned a lot about our family history (turns out Henry is a family name on this side, too). I'll post some more pictures soon.
