Jeff’s family flew in from stateside this holidays, just narrowly escaping the polar vortex that closed in on the east coast. In exchange, they got, well, a couple of rainy days, but also days of warm sunshine by the ocean.

We spent last weekend up in Forresters Beach, renting a beautiful house situated on a hilltop between Forresters Beach and Wamberal Beach. It was a nice relaxing weekend of lounging in the house, at the beach, enjoying each others’ company.
