Wednesday - June 19

 Lots of rain during the night!  Luke and his Daddy called this morning - what a fun way to start the day.   Luke was lying in his Boppi Pillow all smiley!    Made my day!!!
 
We exercised, had breakfast and left around 9:30 for Beaufort.    Had some rain along the way, but only a short jaunt of 10 miles.   We've been to Beaufort (Buefort) SC (between Charleston and Savannah) a few times and love it, but this is out first visit to Beaufort (Bohfort), NC and it's another winner.    Cute shops, friendly southern folks and several restaurant choices.    Had a wonderful lunch at The Beaufort Grocery Co which was recommended by the locals - busy place with neat décor and cute colorful dish towels for napkins!   The Cuban,  Wahoo Wrap with apricot salsa and broccoli salad were excellent!

I hit the shops in the afternoon - misty rain off and on, but nothing to slow me down.   Mark took a nap, we picked up our mail and at 4:15, the sun came out!    Yeah!

Got the laundry done late this afternoon and then walked around this charming town - Front Street is full of shops and restaurants and lovely old homes (many built in the 1700's -they have a plaque showing last name of original owner and year it was built.)   They all have rocking chairs, swings or wicker furniture on their porches (an occasional hammock, too)    Here's  a sample...

Southern beauty
  
Tomorrow.....time to clean Catrina inside and out!   And looking forward to our friends, Mark and Barbara from New Bern coming for visit and dinner.    We were dock mates in Racine for many years.
