Oh, hello! Step inside, and I’ll show you pictures from the beach.
I ate BBQ.
Ice cream with grilled peach and oatmeal cookie.
Tapas.

Mussels. Duck. (These tapas were all split between three people.)
Had some local N.C. beer.
Hung out on the porch.
Ate a bacon-covered hot dog.
Played with sidewalk chalk.
With a Longboard!
I wish I could take credit for this driveway masterpiece, but that all goes to Tina.
I did have a few veggies.
And fruit.
And, oh yeah, I did a 50-mile bike ride. I also ran 3 miles on Sunday. In a sports bra and running skirt. I’d NEVER do that in NYC, but going from laying on the beach in a bikini to putting a t-shirt on felt weird, so I went with it.

Sounds like such an amazing time at the beach! Good for you for running in a sports bra!!! That must have felt so good!
@Beth @ Beth's Journey: Well, I still felt pretty self-conscious, but that made me run faster!
So JEALOUS you were in OBX for the weekend. I have only been there once.. with the fam.. but am DYING to go back. It was so pretty... and so relaxing!
@Cait @ Beyond Bananas: It's pretty awesome :)
I LOVE that drawing of Starry Night! It's one of my favorite paintings. Glad you had a great weekend! I love OBX.
@Amanda @ The Beauty Notebooks: Yeah, she's pretty good :)
bacon wrapped hot dogs? yes please.
looks like an awesome vacation! i totally agree with the running attire -- as much as i want to for comfort reasons, i can't bring myself to run in sports bra and shorts. maybe this will be the summer to get over myself, haha.
Go GIRL!!! Running in your running skirt & sports bra! the strawberries look amazing...
holy foodgasm! talk about good eats! Way to rock the sports bra, you're right, it just seems fitting at the beach.
