Gadabout Travels

Someone told us that a great place to birdwatch was down near the amphitheater, so I took a ride down on the bike. Took 20 minutes there, and 20 minutes back. Never found the birds, but did find that I need a better bike seat! My father-in-law, Jack Tolliver used to say that riding a bike was just a way of wearing out your legs just to give your butt a ride.....

Sunday was just a really nice day, sun out, around 65 degrees....Shelby and I rode the bikes down the trail to the ocean, took a lot of pictures, checked out the driftwood, looked for the glass fishing net floats. Lady in the Hotel giftshop swears that people find at least one a day, but it's easier to just buy one from her.

Monday is also a nice one....we spent most of the day at the local mall, looking for a birthday gift for our Jessie....not just any gift, but one that she will remember and treasure forever. Found such, barely made it to UPS to get it out to her overnite. I was so exhausted from all that shopping, I had to take a nap!

Today is Shelby and my 45th wedding anniversary, and we plan to celebrate by going down the Island to Blackbeard's for a big-ol-time!
