With our kid since she's handicapped and couldn't handle it.
They ended up going a little further down Topsail and finding a spot that had more beach area at high tide. The folks setting up the arbors and benches didn't account for the incoming tide and had to move them back at the last minute. I think it was a little hectic. But everyone was happy and it was beautiful.
We enjoyed staying on the sound. Had paddle boards that we could take out any time. We stayed on Fairytale Lane at a brand new house, which was nice.
Ordering food was crazy. Pizza was impossible and anywhere else either didn't answer or was a 2 hour wait. We made lots of trips to Publix to cook.
We live it down there and can't wait to be back.
