...the Crab Shack in Salter Path, North Carolina.

Number one is, of course, spending a whole glorious week with my peeps...

Number 2 is having my feet in the sand, soaking up the ocean beauty...

And number three is savoring these delectable delights!

And fresh fried shrimp!!

And, for Kim, fresh crabs.

Oh. Goodness.

Oh. SCRUMPTILICIOUSNESS!

Hushpuppies are best dipped in butter.

So are 2-year-old fingers....

We are raising those Gray kids right!

A little after-dinner toy to entertain Lucy...

I got to sit across the table from this beauty, our Kassie-girl, at...

...our first island stop:  The Crab Shack.
