After checking out of our condo, we headed to Carolina Beach State Park on our way out of town. It was freezing cold at first, with strong winds cancelling out any warmth from the sun. Simon walked in the water of course, and then complained about being cold and demanded we leave right away. We made him stay, as the tide was going out and we knew it would be super fun to walk around the sand bar and hunt blue crabs like we did last year. So we persevered, and had a good time eventually in this most beautiful spot.
