vacation please. – Wrightsville Beach, NC

So… I needed a short vacation, and my husband surely needed a short vacation. And we really needed to spend time together (which has always been my excuse.) So, we went and visited some friends in the Wilmington, NC area.

Staying a few blocks away from Wrightsville Beach, we spent our first evening from midnight to 2 AM… just walking along the beach, stargazing.

Brandon found out that if you take your hand and write in the wet/hard part of the sand at night, there are small glowing sparks that light up. (He has a whole science lesson on it after he googled it.)

We spent hours the next afternoon catching waves, hanging with our friend, Therese, who we have missed so much.

I got burned to a crisp…

Later that evening, I went out on the beach as the sun was setting and captured some of this…

After all of that, Brandon and I lay under the stars and listened to the waves for a couple hours. We also watched a lightning storm over the ocean…as we drifted…… away……. away…..
