I cannot even being to express how amazing it is to be back home. Waking up this morning in my own bed felt so good. So good I didn't want to get out of it, in fact. But after not getting in until 3:30am, who blames me? I couldn't bring myself to make it to the 9am Zumba class, but did finally get up a little after 10 to get the day started. Of course as soon as Marshall and I had decided we were going to take the boat out, put on our swimsuits and were heading over to the boat, it started to rain. So, we decided to go eat first instead in the hopes that the rain would move out in the meantime. It was only drizzling so we sat under a big umbrella on the deck at the Fish House and watched the boats go by. Every time I sit on the intercoastal waterway - whether in a boat or on a dock - I love living here. I am a water person. I love the water. Lakes, pools, ocean. I love them all. But the intercoastal is my favorite. It's so peaceful here.
The rain did finally move out just as we were finishing our pulled chicken nachos. Which, by the way, if you ever eat at the Fish House in Wrightsville Beach, I strongly recommend the chicken nachos. I usually don't even like chicken nachos but there they are amazing. So we headed over to the boat and took it out to Masonboro. The ride over was somewhat bumpy but once we anchored at Masonboro it was beautiful and calm. We swam a bit and walked along the beach looking for shells. I even found some pretty amazing little shells too. Afterwards, we puttered around the intercoastal a bit before heading back in.
It's always the case when I come home that we try to jam pack so much into only 1 1/2 days. My parents always want to see me and friends want to see me and then I want to see my house. So tonight we made a compromise thanks to Marshall's suggestion and we had my Mom and Billy over for dinner at our house. Marshall even volunteered to do the cooking on the grill. I gladly took him up on this as I could lay on the couch, watch Olympics and wait for them to get here. It was the ideal evening for me! It was the first meal I've had on our new grill and I have to say the burgers were pretty amazing. After dinner I turned on the opening ceremonies to the Olympics which Marshall had DVR'd for me and watched them with my Mom and Billy. I would say Marshall watched too, but he didn't really. He slept on the couch through most of them. I guess the boat and grilling out really wiped him out! It was an awesome ending to a great day. Tomorrow I will see the girls and my Dad for a bit before heading back to Charlotte. Hopefully, Tina will join us tomorrow too for a girls' day at the movies, unless of course Harper decides to make her appearance!
