Weekend Getaway

Adam and I  had the pleasure of spending the weekend at Topsail Beach with some great friends.  It felt so refreshing, not to mention relaxing, to wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the beach each morning.  Thanks to our friend Rob and his families wonderful beach bungalow,  we (along with several other friends) spent the weekend hanging out, sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather, watching football (of course!), and cooking errr inhaling oysters by the bushel.  Needless to say, we had a great time (but I mean how can you have a bad time at the beach?:).


Before beginning our journey to Topsail for the weekend, we stopped at Starbucks to get some drinks for the road.  I am obsessed with their pumpkin spice latte.  Adam just got a cup of coffee; I think that the lattes are too sweet for him (but perfect for me :).  

  
As we got closer to Topsail, we saw signs/billboards for the Duplin Winery all along the side of the road.  Every time we drive by we always comment on how we want to go to a tasting there some day but we never seem to stop and just continue on our way.  However, since we were way ahead of our friends in getting to the beach, we thought that we would take this opportunity to stop and explore and we were glad we did.  We got to try several of their top sellers and also purchased some to try at home.   

                                       

We finally got to the beach and had a great time hanging out with everyone.  


And, especially had a good time eating lots of oysters.  The guy pictured below is our friend Will, or master oyster shucker I should say.  Seriously, every time I ate one oyster, Will had another one ready for me to eat.   


Unfortunately, Adam got so excited shucking oysters, he accidently cut his finger with a knife and bought us a ticket to the urgent care.  Always an adventure with us!


Thankfully everything was fine besides one deep cut and a very sore finger.  


Overall it was a wonderful weekend.  I hate to see Sundays end.  Hope everyone has a great Monday.  I will leave you with a little inspiration below :)
