North Carolina Trip: Day 4 - Donuts, Shopping, & Beach Visiting Fun

Wendy told me about a yummy donut store called Duck Donuts.  We planned on getting a donut this morning on our way to the store.  Wendy recommended the maple bacon donut, so that is what we got.  The workers recommended the cinnamon sugar donut, so I got one of those too.  I had that one first and it was really good.  I saved the maple bacon one for the next day.

We needed to get a few more things at Home Goods and Walmart to finish getting the house ready.  After the stores we went through the Brew Thru and got us some drinks and t-shirts.  I'm sure most people get more then water and vitamin water, but it was a fun experience.  You drive through a little store and tell them what you want.  It was a hoot.

We then went back to the house to eat our leftovers and finish getting things done.  The table was delivered that morning and I was able to open the boxes and get it ready for the maintenance guy to put it together.  Wendy got some more work done while I cut up the boxes and got this put away.  

After the table was done, we took the sand cart out for a spin.  It was still super cold, so we wrapped blankets around us and checked out the neighborhood.  It was so cold, but it was so much fun.  The neighborhood is beautiful.  The houses are amazing and the gated community that the house is in is just perfect.  We have our own access to the beach and a private restroom area and a place to park cars and sand carts.  

The beach is beautiful.  It was cold so not many people at the beach with us, but we enjoyed our small walk on the beach.  The skies were clear, and the beaches were beautiful.  There were lots of seashells all over, the kids would have loved it.
After our cold adventure we went back to the house so Wendy could get ready for her friend to come.  Tina came and is a super sweet lady.  We instantly became good friends.  We went out to dinner at a fancy place with fancy food.  We tried different appetizers (that were interesting) and then Wendy and I shared the main dish (I didn't get a picture of that).  It was a fun experience, but not my favorite type of food.  It was the atmosphere and the company that was the best.  After dinner we went back and chatted at the house before going to bed.  What a great day!
