In July, Mark and I went to North Carolina with Chris and Joanne Hayball. We stayed on Topsail Island, just across the street from the beach. It was so beautiful there and SO RELAXING! We laid out at the beach every morning and then did a little sight seeing in the afternoons. It was such a nice break!

I thought this lake was so pretty with all the lilly pads and the greenery so I wanted to stop and take a picture.
Little did we know what was lurking in the waters there.....
Uh, yikes! The thing was HUGE! It was like 8 or 9 feet!
Joanne freaked and jumped up on the car! It was a little intense, but way cool to see a croc so close!

Just sit right back And you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port, Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' man, The Skipper brave and sure,
Five passengers set sail that day, For a three hour tour, A three hour tour.
Thats right, friends, it's the SS Minow!
