A day at the beach

Today was a pretty chill day. We went to the beach again, of course. Jackson actually swam today. He's so funny. I love this sequence of photos as you see him paddling through the wave...

then getting crushed by the wave...

and then resurfacing. He does this for HOURS every time we go to the beach. Sigh. I made a hilarious video of him being brutalized by the waves, but he will not allow me to post it. He's no fun.

I really love how friendly the beaches are for dogs. Here is Lassie strolling down the beach.

We went for "real" North Carolina BBQ for lunch. The verdict? Let's just say that Tennessee BBQ puts it to shame. I did not eat much of mine. Eww. We went for Mexican food tonight. I ordered a burrito that came smothered in a cinnamon sauce. I asked the waitress before I ordered it what the sauce was like. I sent it back and asked for it without the sauce and it came back with beans in it. I ordered it without beans. On the final try, the waitress got it right. I felt really bad for her as it was one of her first shifts, but come on lady! We did leave her a healthy tip so I do not feel too, too bad.

We took a walk on the beach tonight, but there were a ton of "ghost crabs" out due to the forest fire smoke. It was so creepy. I could not get off of the beach fast enough. Eww. Jackson had such a great time freaking me out with the crabs. Ugh. It was just gross! HA! Anyway, it was a good and relaxing day here in the OBX.
