Vacation - so far

Becky is down this week and we have been keeping busy. Of course my shop-a-holic has been shopping. She has finally found an Easter outfit that she can also wear to mulitple functions so she is happy. And I'm happy because we don't have to go from store to store looking for something for her to wear.

Monday we went to the Aquarium at Fort Fisher. It's been years since either of us have been to an Aquarium. We had fun and we say many types of fish and other water creatures. I'll add some picutres to a later post since I'm going to have to decide which ones I want to use.

Tuesday we didn't do much. We attempted to find the Bird Sanctuary in town but we couldn't locate it, so we just ended up taking a ride since I had a doctors appt. at 2. I was suppose to Tutor but my Student called and he had to work late. This of course excited Becky since that meant we could go shopping earlier.
Also on Tuesday, Becky's ex-boyfriend called, they talk all the time, and his grandfather passed away. When I got her up on Wednesday, she was talking about going to Florida to be with him. He had told her Tuesday night, that he wished she was there. She was determined to go and be with him and she didn't know what to do since I wasn't happy that she was willing to just up and leave. She called and talked to her brother Jay and he told her, if she felt that strongly about him that she should go. That didn't make me any happier.
She of course still needed to find out what her ex wanted. I decided it was a good time to go out and get gas and run a couple of errands when he called her back.
Well, to make a long story short, he told her not to bother coming down because he was going to be busy. Not with funeral plans mind you because they were going to cremate his grandfather and they weren't holding any type of service. But he was going to be out doing things.
That made me happy but for a while there, I wasn't very happy - I was ready to call my T to see if she had any openings.
Disaster avoided. We then finished getting ready and went out to a very small winery - and I mean small. And after that we went to the beach. We must have stayed there a little over an hour.
We came back home, had something to eat and Becky went shopping. Yup, she can find her way into Wilmington in order to get to JCPenney and the small mall.

Today, we will take a ride to the beach. I need to be home for a Dentist appt at 4 and we'll decide what we want to do afterwards.
On Friday we are going to take the Ferry to Southport. We could actually get there faster by driving but the fun of it all is going over in the Ferry. I have no appts so we have the whole.
On Saturday, she doesn't leave until around 4:30. In the morning we are going to take a Hollywood walking tour and she will get to see where they film 'One Tree Hill'.

I think I will sleep when I return from dropping her off at the airport.

Sunday, I will need to go grocery shopping which now becomes somewhat easier but still a chore I hate. I went to see the nutritionist this week and she help me put together meals for the week. Now I need to make sure I have everything I need to make those meals.

Another update after Becky goes home and I've rested.
