Saturday we had a nice breakfast then headed out to order our glasses.  After that we found our way out the gate that leads to Swansboro and Emerald Isle, (yea, less then a week until the family arrives).  We stopped at the cg on Emerald Isle and for $3.50 a day we can leave the RV there....OK, that issue is solved.  We rode around a little bit, not really having any plans then headed back to camp.  Brad wants steaks for dinner, but they are froze, so we settled on Burgers (beef anyway).  Just hung out, walked to the beach and around the cg a couple of times, not much going on.  I have finally heard from Shane (text) and it looks as if he is working up with the gas well companies.  Now I just need to talk with him to get some specifics.

Sunday, Mother's Day.

Melanie texted first this in the morning, Shari later in the after noon and about 9:00 I heard from Shane.  He is working for a company called Centrifuge and works from 6:00 pm to 6:am, so he called just before going to bed.  It was nice hearing from the kids.  Brad took me out for a brunch at the local VFW, not bad and the people were very nice.  Then we decided to head around Camp Lejeune and go up through Jacksonville, NC just to see what is here (looking for good restaurants).....and we find nothing.  There is really nothing to do, or no where to eat once you get off the base until you get upto Swansboro. 

We headed up towards Emerald Isle and decided to play a game if mini golf, it was fun, but they don't have many challanges on the courses any more.  We stopped at a coffee shop and had a cafe mocha and then went and walked around Lowe's.  It's about 2:30, so back to camp, via a side road or two on the way.  We did manage to find a restaurant, on a back road right out side of Camp Lejeune and when we looked up the reviews, decided we might have to go try it.  We got back and set the steaks out to thaw and then went for long walk on the beach, still a lot of people around for a Sunday afternoon.  We had a nice dinner and another walk around.  Back inside by dark.

Happy Mother's Day to all!!
