Friday Daydreaming: I love Duck.

We go to the beach almost every summer. Usually, Duck, NC. I love Duck. It's quaint. It's quiet, and has a small town feel. If you're close enough to town, you can walk and get ice cream, walk and go shopping, walk and see a beautiful sunset over the sound. We've tried other towns and other beaches, but Matt and I both say the same thing, we like Duck. There aren't any lifeguards on the beach; you usually have no trouble finding a place to park your stuff on the sand, and the houses aren't right on top of one another. And a lot of them have private pools!

We either get take out or try to eat in at the Red Sky Cafe every year. Have to get there early if you don't want to wait 2 hours for a table....

The sand isn't as fine as the Jersey shore, but the kids don't seem to mind - and it's easier to wash off :)

 

The kids have noodle battles in the pool - I think Jason won this one....

...and much to my dismay, the kids love the hot tub. (I have issues with hot tubs that get used by other people...although this one seemed pretty clean...)

Shady hammocks are a great place to read or swing...

Little kids get tuckered out and nap on Mom at dinner.....

We always play mini golf - sometimes with a little air guitar on the side....

And last year we discovered the fabulousness of Duck Donuts. Oh my heck. Talk about hot, fresh donuts, freshly topped with whatever you choose. The lemon glaze was Ah-maz-ing.

My dad usually comes, and last summer the three of us rented bikes! Look at that summer glow on Evie's face :)

And by the end of the week, we've always finished a puzzle. We don't go home until it's done, and most everybody pitches in. Love.

So that's the place I love. There are probably others as well, but I've got Duck on my mind because this is when we usually book our house. If Matt would figure out what week is good, I could cross that off my list :)

Go see R We There Yet Mom for lots of other lovely places to go :)
