Traveling with MM: Labor Day Beach Weekend @ OIB

Who doesn't love a paid holiday?

Labor Day is a bittersweet holiday--it's the unofficial end of summer but a great excuse to take a mini vacay!
This year we took a hop, skip, and a jump down to Ocean Isle Beach where my grandparents have a home.
It's the perfect family beach half way between Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC. 

I grew up coming to this beach, so it's extra special to me, and sharing it with my hubby makes me extra happy! 

Check out all of our adventures...


​Day 1 - We survived hurricane Hermine! That called for lunch at Sharkey's and an afternoon of cozying up on the couch! 
So glad I packed my Hunter Wellies!

​By the next morning, the storm had passed, and the skies were clear; the air was fresh, and the temperature was cool-- 
perfect conditions for a morning run down to the beach!

Our cute accommodations for the weekend! 

​Finally some time on the beach!! We were lucky enough to have two perfect days!!

Dinner at our favorite place - The Provision Company at Holden Beach (just the next island over). 
It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall type of place, but the atmosphere is FUN and the shrimp burgers are
OUT OF THIS WORLD!

A morning paddle board sesh in the canal! It's the perfect way to exercise and look at the pretty houses :) 

​We spent our last night in - ordered pizza, played corn hole, drank gin & tonics, and played
​one epic game of cards against humanity! 

It's always sad to leave the beach, but we made the trip home a special one!
A pit stop at our favorite Ice-Cream/Farm stand for some fresh fruit & a snack!  Peaches & Cream is a MUST. 

​Cheers to a fun and fabulous weekend at the beach! 
I hope you all had safe, fun Labor Day weekends.  Until next year...the beach will be waiting!

Thanks for reading!
