Exploring Kure & South Port!

Being the only couple without a little baby combined with the fact that Emery wakes up early meant we were able to explore beach life outside our rental house more easily!  Kyle brought our bikes down with us and I'm so thankful he did... we went on bike rides almost every morning-- as you can tell Emery loved it as much as we did!
Based on numerous recommendations from friends we made our way one morning to Britt's Donuts.  Oh my goodness they were delicious and totally lived up to the hype.


After eating our donuts we walked on the beach and collected some shells together!


On another night, Brenda, Don, Em, Kyle and I went out to dinner together.  Food was a little expensive but good-- always love the treat of fresh seafood and Emery was soaking up individual Grammy and Poppa time!


And lastly, Kyle, Emery, and I took our bikes on the ferry over to South Port!  I'm so glad we did this as we had the best day exploring and eating DELICIOUS food!  
Here are pictures from the ferry:


South Port is SO cool and everything we thought it would be.
Farmers Market right downtown:

We decided to eat at Yacht Basin Provision Company.  Best food ever and cheap too-- our kind of spot!

This was my meal... oh man I seriously want to go back there right now and eat those steamed shrimp again!

Afterwards we treated ourselves to ice cream right across the street... love this picture!
Thankful for great weather, an easy 2 year old that loves exploring as much as we do, and a husband who works so hard to make trips like this possible!  More pictures coming soon!

My parents have a house on Oak Island and we go into Southport every time we are there. Such a cute little town and it's where Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks was filmed!

We love Southport. The ferry ride is always a treat and doing it on bikes would be so special. Looks like the weather cooperated and you had a wonderful time!

These posts are really giving me the itch to head for the coast and eat donuts and seafood! Looks like the bikes were the perfect way to explore and the panoramic pics are awesome!
