Shore Is Beautiful

Shore Is Beautiful: Here is part II of our spring break trip to Bald Head Island. 

Shore Is Beautiful in Bald Head this !

Birch and I went to the beach alone together where we found hundreds of birds! We sat in the sand, side by side, and I said “sure is beautiful” and he said “sure is beautiful” back about 5 minutes later. There is nothing like the shore. 

Shore Is Beautiful!

Grammie + Pea

Grammie and Pea arrived on Monday, so we enjoyed the second half of our trip with them. Having a kid-to-adult ratio of 4:1 was quite nice!

Grammie’s Birthday Dinner

We celebrated Grammie’s birthday (a few weeks late) with a sprinkle striped cake and gifts!

And before cake we had BBQ chicken, roasted asparagus, rosemary potatoes, and rolls.

Tide Pools

The tide pools at the point were on point (ha!) this time!! So many shallow ones to hop in.

Spa and Golf

Thomas and I escaped for some individual activities. He played golf twice, and I went to the Island Retreat Spa!

I got a massage with cupping for the first time and was quite shocked by the marks it left on my back. It’s supposedly very good for muscles, and it hurt a little but not a lot. They are slowly fading away. Looks like I got stung by a giant squid!

I also went to the Club fitness room twice for a Peloton ride! Felt so much like home. Interestly, I crushed my personal record by almost 40 points. So either this bike or mine is totally off calibration.

Island Adventures

We went to see Old Baldy and paid a visit to the “pirate store” which was filled with pirate things for Captain Sparrow!!

We tried the new restaurant, Jailhouse Provisions. It’s part coffee shop and part casual eatery open for lunch and at the bottom of the week. 

The Edward Teach IPA was excellent in the sunshine.

      Thanks! It’s Stitch Fix. Since I’m a shorty, it’s impossible to find a maxi to fit me in length. Stitch Fix always gets my sizing right : )

    Ok Kath you guys trips have me wanting to take the boys so bad but I’m so scared because of their difficulties. Do you think that the island is pretty sensory and autism friendly? Obviously we would go towards off season maybe towards the end of September (is it less crowded, but still warm waters?) where to stay, tips? Another option I thought about was edisto beach in South Carolina because I think it tends to be more quiet, then of course there is duck in the outer banks but not to much to do there unless you drive. Love ya- we have never been to bald head and thought it maybe something new and fun to do. An exciting new vacation spot especially with those cool tidal pools the boys don’t know how to swim yet, and have no sense of danger

      Hi Renee! I think it would be a great spot for you guys. The beaches are not crowded at all, and the waves on South Beach are very small. Then the tidepools are great too! I think they would love the golf carts. There aren’t too many places to eat other than the private clubs, but you probably would want to pack a decent amount of groceries for the week anyways and cook in. Definitely go in the off season – Sept would be perfect!
