Weekend Recap

...from two weekends ago. Oops.

I'll go ahead and warn you: this will be a very picture heavy post :)

So finally, I'm here to tell you about my wonderful fair/beach/pumpkin carving adventures with my cousin two weekends ago! Here's the highlights..

We went to the every so classy NC State fair!

Got some of my favorite fair food...

Fried Oreos, duh.

And yes, chocolate covered strawberries... LOVE THEM.

We played with the sweetest little chicky ever, Clark

And of course, rode the Scrambler umpteen times (and took pictures on it?)

Next stop on our weekend itinerary: La playa! That means beach in Spanish for all of you un-spanish-speakers.

Of course a trip to Myrtle isn't complete with a stop at this classy joint

After climbing on animals and taking pictures we finally arrived at the BEACH!

The sun was setting and the light was so dreamy, gah I love it!

That night we froze our tails off on the Pier while eating ice cream and it was wonderful :)

The next morning we were up bright and early for breakfast and to stare at this beautiful view out of our balcony. The sky will never cease to amaze me.

Next we came face to face with this bad boy.

What up, Sky Wheel? You're terrifying but we bought tickets for you anyway. (more on that later)

Despite the big breakfast we had we were so ready for a big lunch and headed over to Broadway at the Beach for some yummy burgers from Margaritaville.

and can't forget the drinks

Strawberry Daiquiri, yuuuummmm.

For the rest of the afternoon we relaxed on the beach and I "watched" the NC State game

And we won! (although it didn't look like that starting out)

So now, back to that Sky Wheel thing.

It's kind of creepy but kind of incredibly awesome. It's 200 feet in the air and maybe that doesn't seem like a lot but trust me, it is! Especially when you're up there.

Sorry for that crappy glare. Flash wasn't even on! :(

But it was so much fun and once we got adjusted to it we didn't want to get out! It went way too fast.

After our Sky Wheel adventure we hung out a bit in the 'downtown' ? area and then went back to the hotel to walk on the Pier and take some pictures

It was such a beautiful (but cold) night and the perfect way to end our beach trip!

Next up, Pumpkin Carving and cookie making!

And our final products...

Can you guess who's is the Steelers one? Yeah, that would be yours truly! Wish I could say that it was my creative juices that came up with that idea, but it wasn't... I stole it off the Internet. Allison's is the happy pumpkin, and Michael's is the ECU pumpkin! I think they all turned out pretty good :)

Overall it was a wonderful October weekend!

Happy Friday :)
