Fun Holiday Escapades
The great memories that I have with holidays are unplanned, but poignant events. It all started when I said, "do you remember that cute little wine and snack shop down the coast that sits right between the ocean and the sound?"

Of course nobody did, so there was a huge expedition to find this no-name shoppe.

We drive through several small beach towns. We cross a 3 mile bridge into Pea Island (mostly a dune preserve). We drive 40 miles down the Pea Island coast. We passed many cute shoppes, but none with with my description.

I knew it was before the ferry, and sure enough, 1 mile before the ferry and 70 miles from our resort, the shoppe was discovered.

Does it matter? No. But it was great fun in the process of finding it, and once we found it, we were under the impression that we had just found Blackbeard's buried treasure.
