Camp Lejeune

Well here it is Tuesday evening, and we just got done with dinner.

Monday....

We did laundry, walked around the cg, went for a walk on the beach and managed to get very wet.  How do those waves manage to sneak up on you, even when you think you are watching for them. 

 We did find an unusual item on base, something you don't see everyday.  Our younger viewers may not know what this is and we thought phone booths were a thing of the past!!!

After being here all day, we decided to head to Swansboro for dinner.  We were headed to Nicky's for a seafood dinner, when Brad spied a Pizza joint...sounded good.  After very, very slow service we got our not so in-expensive pizza, and were disappointed.  It was to be their special (gourmet) pizza and we had to look really hard to find the toppings.  The surprising thing is that this place was packed and with a lot of the locals....next time we'll go for the seafood. 

Tuesday....

I did forget to mention that the Honda has started to make a strange noise.  Sounds like it is coming from under the car and not from the engine, but we don't know anything about vehicles.  So off to the Honda dealer this morning.  Took them about 2 seconds to diagnose, a broken bolt on the catalytic heat shield, so it will last until we get back to PA. 

It is a gray rainy day, so what do you do....you go shopping.  Brad and I each got a new bathing suit and I got 2 new pair of shorts.  I hate this gaining weight thing.  You would think with the bike riding and walking we do, it would start to disappear.  We stopped at Applebee's for lunch and at as usual, it was way to much.  We ended up bringing half of it home and I still only had an apple for dinner.  Brad went for a bike ride and I did dishes, called Mel and cleaned up a little.  All in all, a good day. 

The Intercoastal Water Way is right at the end of the camp ground, about a 5 campsite walk, and this barge came through the draw bridge (which actually turns) and it just looked like it was going to hit the bridge.  The are large and go much faster than you think they should.  I guess they have been at this a lot longer than we have been watching them.
