Weekend in Atlantic Beach

North Carolina that is, not New Jersey. We made the long journey across the country this weekend to visit my family and meet our newest nephew. Two planes and a 4 hour drive later, we ended up on the Atlantic coast Friday night piled in a beach condo and ready for the ocean! We spent most of the weekend playing in the waves, laying in the sun, eating way too much food, and laughing with relatives. The weather was hot and ridiculously humid, which was almost unbearable for these dry air folks, but the company was wonderful and and the ocean always rejuvenates my soul. Although I left a little battered, (I took a boogie board to the face and have a nice shiner as a result), my heart is full! This weekend kicks off a summer full of travel, friends, family, and many memories in store.
