kure beach 2012 – day two

After sleeping in a little bit at the hotel, we headed out to get some lunch and stopped at an old car show.  The kids enjoyed seeing some really neat cars!

We ate lunch at Cape Fear Restaurant, a restaurant we had been to with Mom and Dad last year.  It had a nice view of the water and had pretty good food.  We took a few pictures on the pier there.  Before we headed to the ferry ride at 1pm, Laura had another surprise for the kids…..binoculars!!!  They kids LOVED these….more than she expected!

While we were waiting to board the ferry, Nonnie comes walking up!  We had no idea they (Nonnie & Papa and Mike & Anna) were planning to ride the ferry at the same time so it was a pleasant surprise!  The kids were super excited to see everyone!  They had a good time feeding the seagulls while riding the ferry.

We made a pit stop at Fort Fisher to check out the history there before heading to the beach house.

Once we got unpacked, Anna and I headed for Wal-Mart with a four page shopping list to get our grocery shopping done for the week.  Two hours, three carts and $635 later, we had filled the van with groceries and headed home to unpack and eat dinner.  Ralph was so nice and completely unpacked all of our stuff and put it away while I was gone….a HUGE gift!  I think he’s a keeper!  😉

I had failed to include a couple things on our grocery list so around 11pm, Anna, Deb, and I headed back to Wal-Mart for a late night run.  Got into bed around 12:30am and crashed!  We are here and unpacked……:)
