Other than a long beach walk this morning, we haven’t actually be out playing yet – we had to do a massive grocery store trip first! (My parents did a mini one yesterday). 7 foodies with strong opinions about food and an elaborate meal plan meant it wasn’t a simple trip, but now the fridge is stocked for the week and we’re ready to hit the sand!
Sandwiches with salt + vinegar chips and a Carolina beach peach first!
Lathered up!! Sunscreen = so far, so good!
See you for cocktail hour!

go you for being sun-protected! shame on me for always forgetting. i already have wonderful running shorts and tank top tan lines and it’s not even june yet!
Good for you – starting with the obligatory beach shot. Also love the sunscreen photo. I took a long walk this morning but it wasn’t as scenic as yours. I love the water.
hahaha! I can just imagine a heated debate in the frozen foods aisle. popsicles flying, strong words said.
glad you’re all finished now and back to sun and fun.
Looks heavenly! Opinion question- how does that sunscreen do greasiness-wise? I’m unfortunately oily and lots of sunscreens just make me look like a shiny, greasy mess (plus the subsequent breakout). Would love to know if this one doesn’t seem to be that way!!
It’s good!! Took a while to rub in, but I don’t mind being pasty white like I did when I was a teenager. It soaked in well a few minutes later. Not too greasy.
Perfect! Thanks Kath- I don’t mind the white pasties, either, just hate the breakout-inducing grease factor!
Yes, first things first, food is important
It definitely brings up my mood when the fridge is full of foods I love
I hope you enjoy the beach!
oh dannnng gorgeous pictures and what a beautiful place! hehe, love that pic of you in your bright tank. So full of color.
Group grocery trip- fun!
Isn’t a well-stocked fridge one of the best feelings in the world?! I imagine it would be pretty tough to satisfy 7 foodies but I bet you’ve got some delicious meals ahead!
Next year at this time, you’ll be protecting baby from th sun too!
Hey, I just noticed your comment policy. I’m not sure how long it’s been there, but good for you!
Haha good job on the sunscreen!
I want in on those food discussion! Sounds like fun. My husband loves food but there is no discussion about it, I on the other hand always want to talk about food and different tastes, textures or brands… drives him bonkers.
A stocked fridge and sunshine… Bring on the weekend!
Photos look so great! We’re headed to the emerald isle in a couple hours!! woohoo!! Bikes, yoga mats, hammocks all packed up with booz and watermelons
I love Carolina Beach! We vacationed there last summer and had a wonderful time. Enjoy your vacation…relax, read and soak up some sun
Cute pic of you all lathered up in sunscreen
Hope you guys have a great kick off to the weekend…have fun!!!
Ohhhh fun! Enjoy
I don’t care if I’m pasty, I just hate when sunscreen gets in my eyes!
Sounds like you have all the makings of a great vacation…great food, family and no worries of a sunburn!
Whole Foods just opened in WIlmington 2 days ago if you need supplies from there. I know CB is limited in grocery stores.
Oh fun!!!! We headed to Food Lion (dad’s choice and closest) but good to know for coming in next time!
hahaha I have the same problem grocery shopping with my family on vacation! Diverse tastes for sure
I always have to put on sunscreen. If I sit outside for more than 10 minutes, I’ll burn!
Such a beautiful beach photo! There’s something about salt and vingear chips at the beach–it just seems right. Enjoy yourself!
All lathered up with sunblock
You will get a little vitamin d, though.

enjoy!!
Aw, I miss vacations at the beach with my family! We always did a crab feast one night and a huge shrimp boil another night. Nothing like sitting around the table for hours with loved ones. Have a great vacation!
Looks like you’re having so much fun! Btw, I’ve been reading you blog for the past few months and I am totally inspired by it! I’m 20 and I am on my way to becoming a RD so your posts are very motivational for me! Cheers, have a great time on your trip!
i am loving all the pictures of the beach. They are so whimsical and beautiful. I want to be there.
My land, does that peach look good!
Have fun on the beach!
Haha grocery shopping is always such a big ordeal in my family full of foodies too!
I am from a family of foodies also…we finally figured out a way to cook, eat, relax & enjoy our beach vacation dinners! You pair up with someone other than your partner & the two of you shop, cook & clean for everyone else for one night. It became very competitive in a “who can make the most awesome dinner” kind of way. Multiple courses, wine pairings, music selections, first course on the beach, second course on the deck, third at the table, etc..etc…It’s a blast!!
Impressive!!
