Rich & I haven't been there for many years but what a glorious place! One time we took mom with us to Topsail and she got knocked down by a wave. I tried to get to her but the "rogue" wave knocked me down too! The cruise we took in 2001 was absolutely the best experience I've had. We visited Key West, FL, Cosumel, Mexico, Bahammas and Grand Cayman. I fed the stingrays at Stingray City! A vivid memory is of the water being crystal clear and the most beautiful colors of blue and green. Of course, the sister vacations stick out in my mind as some of the most wonderful times I've had! Love Folly Beach, SC and Colorado! Other wonderful vacation memories are of Topsail, NC. Rich & I haven’t been there for many years but what a glorious place!

What I remember is that it was too hot to sleep inside the tent. And, the walk to our campsite was far from the beach, so your boyfriend (Geoff) would give us rides, one by one, back to the campsite. I burned my leg on his motorcycle exhaust pipe during one of those trips! I was actually going to mention that summer we camped at Shawnee for a week!

It wasn't big enough for all of us, but we managed. One summer dad took us to Shawnee State Park and dropped us off with a tent and Coleman cooking stove. (He was smart - he went home to sleep in a real bed ...and go to work, of course.) I can't remember how many days we stayed but my boyfriend came on his motorcycle and stayed for a night. That's when my fun began! Shawnee did have a building with toilets and showers so it wasn't completely el natural. Cindy, you were about six or seven at the time. Kara looks at those pictures and thinks it's her. Bonnie invited two of her friends...what were their names?? Anyway, we survived ...a bit tired and sunburned!
