The Pier at Surfside

While staying at Topsail Island, NC, we decided to walk the pier one evening.  It cost Paul and I a couple of bucks, but the boys were free.

Even though this sign had seen better days, the boys insisted on being photographed in it. 

Getting ready to start the long walk across the pier.  Piers are kind of creepy.  They always seem rickety with wobbly boards.

The boys check out the spot with the biggest waves.  Cort and Reid look so sweet in this moment.  Two seconds later they were having a big fight over something.

Lots of folks were out fishing this evening.  We saw a few people catch fish.  No sharks, from what we saw.

The surfers did not seem phased a bit by the recent shark attacks on the NC shores.  Guess surfers are invincible.

As we returned to the car, the sun was setting behind the island.  It was a beautiful end to our day.

Readers, have you had any beautiful endings lately?

  20. What a beautiful sunset. I never thought of piers being creepy before (lol), but I suppose it is a little spooky to think about "sharks" underneath... Yes, surfers are invincible I guess... I love your humor!
