For more than 18 years we have been venturing to Bald Head Island for vacations, birthdays & holidays. This summer we planned to go somewhere new for our summer trip, but of course we ended up at BHI...it's pretty hard to venture away from our spot. It's our absolute favorite. The island is calm but still full of stuff to do, it's our type of place.
We ride on golfcarts with no plans or agenda. We hop on our bikes when we need something from the grocery store. We sleep hard and wake up early. We spend the day laying in the sun, reading, fishing, and napping. We play...a lot. This past trip we had the entire strip of beach to ourselves. Kell and I got out pretty early, I ran and splashed in the tide like I was literally two years old again. I loved every minute of it. We rock on the porch with a book and watch the sunset. We ride the golfcarts with sandy beach hair smacking us in the face...BIG sandy beach hair. We go the day solely on cheese, crackers, apples & grapes because that just seems like the only suitable beach food. We lay around on sandy couches-too lazy and worn out from the sun to even bother to get up and wipe it off. We cook dinner together. We wake up early to the sounds of mom and dad's jokes and cling of coffee mugs. We rest, we relax, we soak it all up. We are together, and that's what I love the most.
This is paradise. BHI is more than a vacation spot to us, it's where we make our best memories, laugh hard and love each other fully. I love my family, I love our time together and I love our spot.
