Our Trip to Southport

We enjoyed a wonderful visit with Charles' Aunt Polly and Uncle Terry in Southport, North Carolina over labor day weekend last month. Polly and Terry were wonderful hosts and provided great tours of Southport and surrounding areas. It proved to be a relaxing and enjoyable weekend for all of us. It was extra fun because Bullseye (Carson's imaginary horse) also joined us for our family vacation. We are not exactly sure where or when Carson and Bullseye became friends but they really seem to enjoy each others company! 

We enjoyed staying with Polly and Terry at their home at St. James Plantation in Southport. Carson loved their dogs, Soffy and Ally.

We visited a marine museum in Southport. At first, we thought that this object was a telescope and told Carson to look through the lens. Then Terry informed us that it was actually a small cannon ... oops!

We enjoyed looking at all the boats at the marina at St. James.

Carson liked looking for fiddler crabs below the dock at the marina

We took a Ferry Boat ride over to Fort Fisher Island

The aquarium at Fort Fisher was really great.

No coastal vacation is complete without a trip to the beach! Carson enjoys building sand castles with daddy.

Aunt Polly and Charles finally convinced Carson to take a dip in the ocean!

We concluded the weekend with a trip to the North Carolina Baptist Assembly at Fort Caswell.
