Bald Head Island Vacation

We are just back from a week at Bald Head Island and have come away completely charmed. Dad and Heather started talking about taking a family vacation last year and asked what we thought about trying somewhere new, maybe Bald Head? I was excited to experience a new place, especially since I had heard so many good things about this beach. Well the rumors are all true- it's beautiful, it's interesting historically and geographically, and it's got plenty of little quirks that make it fun. Let me explain.

We had a neat dockside lunch in quaint Southport before meeting the fam at the marina...

Collins' first grilled cheese sandwich was a big hit....

Arriving at your destination via ferry makes it all the more exciting...

Luckily, you have to leave your car behind in Southport and traverse the island by golf cart...

Old Baldy is a neat historic marker and worth the steep climb to the top...

Somehow we caught three days of rainy weather and had to keep ourselves occupied indoors (easier said than done for some of us!) :) Luckily, a trusty keyboard, a pool table, and lots of goody bars helped pass the time.

When the sun finally made its appearance, it was spectacular outside with cool temperatures and sparkling waters. The view from our porch and the reason we spent a lot of time there...

We had the beach to ourselves during the day...

And a stunning view of the sunset each night...

The company wasn't too shabby either...

Roger and Sherron (Heather's Mom and Stepfather from Arizona) are such interesting people! We enjoyed getting to know them better.

This picture makes us laugh because we could not pull it together for a decent photo. Collins was a little on the wild side for our dinner out...

What a fun and memorable trip...Dad and Heather thank you so much!
