Follies of a Mountain Chick: Kure Beach!

Back to the coast we went for a few days, except this time it was Kure Beach in NC. We went with Doobie and Michelle Westmoreland and Michael and Mary Clair Privott to Doobie's beach house. What a time we had! Can't beat a beach trip with buddies! The kids had friends to play with and the adults did too. The first evening we went to Jack Mackerel's, which is one of our favorite things to do.

The party starts here! Starting from left and around - Doobie, Michael, Mary Clair, me, Michelle, and Thomas. Woohoo!

From left - Noah, Jackson, Cammie, Natalie, Brooke, Georgia, Gracen, and Lily

The next day, we stayed out on the beach all day. The waves were perfect and boogie boarding couldn't be better.

Now, we have laughed and envied Doobie for a couple of years now 'cause he's such a lucky varmint. And I do mean LUCKY! Technically, this could be a post all on its own, but I'll shorten this. He and Michelle and have won $2000 two years running at a big Mooresville social function. And, Doobie won several times in the last two weeks with lottery tickets - around $250, I think. Well, Michelle goes to the arcade at the beach and blows the heck out of one those arcade machines and wins THOUSANDS of tickets that you turn in to get prizes. She also scores big on bargains when she shops. All I can say is that if I ever go back to Las Vegas, they're going with me!

This is Doobie and one of his lottery tickets. Oh, I get it - you eat Lucky Charms. Breakfast of Champions. Well, not always - as you can see by his hat. Hey Doobie, get the 'dooky' off your hat and you might get even luckier!!!!!!!
