I am a coastal girl for sure...mountains are beautiful and all but make no mistake, I am a total sand and wave girl through and through. Coco and I joined some of our friends at the beach this week and had so much fun. We went to one of our local hometown beaches, Surf City, NC. I love it there because it still has an old school surf town vibe. Delicious food and beverages were consumed, the kids got airbrushed tattoos, and of course no trip would be complete without a few trips to the best place on Earth,
Bert's Surf Shop. I've loved surf shops since I was a kid {Bert's being my all-time favorite} and I still love 'em - those are my people. Soul surfing all day with bleached out salt water hair and your idea of dressing up is a clean wife-beater tank and cutoff jeans on top of your drenched bikini...shoes not accepted. On our trip, we were also lucky enough to bring back just-caught shrimp and flounder from a local fish market to enjoy at home for the next few months {yes, we bought a lot}!
As you may have seen me mention before, my retirement plan {probably at the age of 145} is to retire on the beaches of Costa Rica. However, I'm afraid the wife-beater and cutoff jeans will simply not look the same, but I'm game...
