Summer Beach Days

Last summer was so much fun with Meredith.  She was at the best age to go to the beach as she loved to play in the sand, run around, run into the waves, pick up seashells, and people and dog watch.  I worked part-time so we were able to get to the beach 3-5 times a week!  We also mixed it up with some pool days with friends.  We loved it! 

This is our favorite place on Topsail Island - Serenity Point - It is the south tip of the island and we loved to finish off our weekends with a long beach walk around it.

Tyler was quite the surfer all year.  He kept his surf board in his car so he could stop and surf on his way home from work if the waves were good.  Meredith loves to surf like daddy.  (and at the time of writing this post almost a year later, she has already rode on the surf board in the ocean!)

Michael's Visit

Michael (Tyler's brother) made his first trip out to visit us last July and we had the best time!  We grabbed dinner on Riverfront, rented a boat with friends and went out to Lea Island to paddle board, grilled out and played cards, had another beach day, and back to downtown Wilmington for drinks and dinner at Copper Penny.  It was such a fun weekend!  I love seeing Meredith's relationship with her aunts and uncles develop more and more.

The Ceplecha's Visit

Some of my best high school friends, Scott and Amber, and their sweet daughter came out to NC for a long weekend visit last summer.  We had the best time with them! We are excited for more family fun with them in the future.
