Battleships, Christmas shops, farm fresh eggs and swimming

Life has been so busy we feel like we have been living in a whirlwind. Here is a rundown of some of the things that have been happening:

• Daytrip to Southport. This time we drove through Leland, dined at The Pharmacy, visited the Christmas shop and caught the ferry across to Fort Fisher



• Breakfasted downtown at the Barista cafe with a detour through the Riverfront Farmers Markets before heading over to the USS North Carolina Battleship. A great weekend to visit the ship as the living history crew were in uniform and giving demonstrations. An amazingly large ship complete with a dentist office, pharmacy, and chapel.



• Lucy attended music and signing classes, Fiona went to bible study and had lunch with Jennifer at Macaroni Grill



• Worshipped at church followed by a lunch at Sweet and Savoury



• Visited Wrightsville beach a couple of times and ate lots of Kohl's frozen custards. Lucy likes chocolate (and pretty much every other flavour)!



• Andrew and Fiona went out for dinner twice - once on a 'taste the town' tour where we got to visit 8 different restaurants and the other time to Oceanic for a Silex get-together. We also headed out to our Wednesday night bible study group



• Birthday lunch for Manuela at the Atlanta Bread Company!

We farewelled Andrew's parents yesterday and life (without visitors) should slow down. Regular blogging will resume again next week.
