I just got back from the annual family trip to Wrightsville Beach, NC, where every year for the past 30 years or so, my folks and my aunt’s family all get together and take over a beach house for a week.<\/p>\n
It’s a great time to catch up with family, play setback, eat, kick back and relax. My dad’s cousin and his kids and grandkids all visited, too. They usually come for dinner one night on the weekend. The house gets crazy crowded, but it’s fun.<\/p>\n
I made sure to visit the Trolly Stop<\/strong> (yes, that’s the correct spelling) for the best hot dogs in N.C., and we went to Genki Sushi<\/strong> for lunch. Sugi-san makes some wicked good food.<\/p>\n The only thing we didn’t get to do was go to Britt’s Donuts<\/strong> in Carolina Beach, N.C. It was a little far to drive for donuts, even if they’re some of the best donuts in the country. We’ll have to go next time.<\/p>\n I feel recharged… I also feel like I need to eat nothing but raw vegetables for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another busy week as the entire extended family gathered for our annual trip to Wrightsville Beach, NC.
