Cake Walk

IMG_7616

Our final night! Sad!

It began with cocktail hour at sunset

IMG_7603

After fresh showers

IMG_7607

Snacks included wheat thins and cheese, plus some munch sesame sticks mom brought from home.

IMG_7602

We walked to dinner after some conversation

IMG_7610

Karen, your swing misses you!!

IMG_7609

IMG_7611

Dress loose = nothing to show. Dress tight =

IMG_7615

We went to Mojo’s for dinner, which is the former Ebb + Flo’s that we loved for an inexpensive seafood dinner. Sadly, the ownership and therefore the menu has changed and everything is 50% more expensive

Sad smile this !

IMG_7613

We tried the sweet potato fries to start

IMG_7617

And guess who ate a SALAD for dinner!! I’m feeling much more like my old self! The salad was greens with a few veggies and olives

IMG_7618

Larbs and I shared the blackened catfish over grits, so I topped my salad with my portion.

IMG_7622

This ended up tasting wonderful!! Loved the good ole Southern grits.

IMG_7620

Back at home, we played a family game of Rummikub. Every played this game? It’s one of my very favorites!! We’ve been playing for years and years.

IMG_7624

Dad won.

Cake x3 nights in a row. I don’t want to say I’m caked out…but I kind of am. But I’m sure a week from now I’ll be wishing I had a slice! This was one of the best cakes ever [from Carolina Cake Company in Durham]. This plate looks huge, but it was a small desert plate – we made the cake stretch 3 nights perfectly!

    Such a wonderful opportunity to be with your family before the baby arrives. You will look back on this trip fondly as a time where you all got to relax and enjoy each other. So fun! Thank you for all the great photos- they were very relaxing to me.

    The entire getaway has been fabulous. I know I keep saying it, but this is SUCH a trip down memory lane to my old life when Scott and I used to live there.

    And you have me craving the sweet potato fries right about now!

    I love rummikub! When I was growing up my grandfather owned a beach house and we would always play when we went to the beach. It was the first game my husband and I bought as a married couple.

    I have never been to Bald Head Island or any of the beaches in NC but that is one of my wishes to vacation.

    Hi Kath,
    Thanks for the great memory of Rummikub! We used to play at my grandparents’ house all the time. I recently lost my grandmom and my grandpa died a long time ago, so it was nice to remember those happy times spent around their dining room table playing this game. I’ll have to introduce it to my children….

    Looks like a wonderful time with your family!
    Lydia 🙂

    I don’t think I ever played before. I grew up playing Dominoes. And in fact my family still does sometimes…it’s just gotten harder to play with the grandparents. :-/

    I’ve been going to Bald Head since I was 3, and I had no idea they were closing Ebb and Flo’s! Such a bummer.

    Do you guys go to Shoals Club while you’re down there? I love it, but it’s so expensive!

      The Shoals was still closed for the winter 🙁
