Good morning! I hope y’all had a great Memorial Day weekend!  As you know, Tripp and I escaped to Duck, NC for one last blast of beach before the summer. It was so relaxing and fantastic…and much, much needed. As a mom I get totally sick of hearing myself talk. Don’t you? I feel like most days, all I do is talk to a) tell someone something to do, b) tell someone something not to do, c) explain how something works, d) warn of impending danger, e) warn of impending danger, f) warn of impending danger. For five days straight all I had to do was whatever I wanted. Therefore, I don’t have a lot to report.

We are, however, totally in love with where we stayed. Check out the 50’s style beach inn below.

Behold, the classic Sanderling Inn:

We stayed in the South Inn. It was so calm and serene. Every morning, they would serve coffee in the room below and there was always light classical music playing. I know. We sound old but nothing was better to us than waking up, walking into this room and having coffee with paper in hand and listening to Chopin. I guess that’s what happens to you when you have a kid and you really need a vacay!

Here is a picture of the room. Don’t underestimate that bed. It is THE most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in during my lifetime. Seriously. I slept without waking up ONCE every night…a true feat when three times a night is standard for me!

And, here we are relaxing on the beach and celebrating our Anny on Saturday!

(OK. I know this is an empty beach chair. BUT, it sums up what we did. N.O.T.H.I.N.G.!)

Well, Tripp surfed:

Then, we did nothing some more until dinner. We went to Blue Point for our Anny dinner. It was FAB.

That’s us over a strawberry-rhubarb cobbler. DEE-lish!

Ok. I promise a more detailed and kid-oriented post tomorrow. All this vacation has made me tired!
