BLACKBEARD'S HOUSE

Took a day trip to visit my BFF in Morehead City. We kicked back for a couple of hours on the beach. My awesome BFF waiting until I was chest deep in the Atlantic before telling me she had just watched shark week and we were probally surrounded by sharks but, just couldn't see them.




Okay, after surviving a possible shark attack, we grabbed a bite to eat and headed to beaufort and my friends art studio/store THE BLUE DRAGONFLY.




We had a great time checking out the antique shops. One owner even grew a cute little garden in the walkway beside her shop.


We had to take a break from fun for a bit when my BFF's soon to be daughter-in-law backed into my car. After taking care of business it was on to Blackbeard's house.

We plan on going back and taking the night walking tour. Not as scary during the day, huh?  We walked the graveyard that's suppose to have the grave of a man Blackbeard killed when he walked in on his wife dancing in front of him before he found out that was her brother.

The graveyard is a part of the ghost walk that includes Blackbeard's house. Well, that's all. Just a quick check in.

Later,

Fun fun fun! I really need to hang out with you guys on one of your day trips.

Oh, and that pic of the garden in the walkway? For some strange reason, it looks similar to the place I envisioned where Charlie's sister lives in The Better Part of Darkness. Wicked cool!! :-D

It was fun! I'm still sporting a golden tan from the beach. Jo really has the life. She lives on the beach and gets to to create art for a living.

Now that you mention it, the garden,stone walkway and door at the back kind of reminds me of where Charlie's sister might live.

I love taking day trips. They are like mini vacations. We went to Greenville the following week. Got to love the mini vacation!
