Southport was another favorite stop from last year. This year’s stop was made special by a visit from Ellen’s sister-in-law, Diane, and her husband, Don who live in nearby Wilmington. We cooked a Shrimp Boil on the boat and ate on the flybridge and had Strawberry Parfaits for dessert. It was so nice to spend time with them!
We also ate (twice!) at our favorite restaurant in Southport, Provision Company, and visited on Kay and Robert Creech’s front porch two nights. Ronda and Bob from Hawkins Landing were also at the marina and joined us on the porch. We also took an entertaining golf cart tour of Southport with Ronda and Bob. Several movies have been filmed in this quaint town and the historic homes are beautiful!
