Hi from Bald Head!! I’m here with my parents, my sister, and her husband for a week. We’re having a great time now that that tropical storm has passed. We’ve never stayed here for our beach week, (only for the spring, and the fall and for my sister’s wedding), so this is super exciting!!
Look at that face!!!
The house that we are renting is absolutely stunning – it’s recently been renovated and is the perfect floor plan for our family.
On the first night, we arrived on the 6pm ferry, so we went straight to dinner at the Shoal’s Club.
Luckily for us, it was ‘half price appetizer night’! We had one of everything on the menu, and everything was amazing!
My favorite appetizer was these huge crab legs!
Breakfast was a cinnamon chip bread with butter, coffee and blueberries.
On day two, we managed to fit in a little beach time before Tropical Storm Colin rolled in…
Little beach walk…
Settlers of the Sand…
And then, we prepared for the storm – which ended up not being a big deal at all. It was a good time to do a puzzle!
Lunch was a salad with spinach, cheese, ham and wine. (Yes, wine!)
I spent the afternoon working on the puzzle. Yes, I’m still working!
Dinner on Monday was a pizza made by Larbs!
And then we had an ice cream pie!
Just slightly melt the ice cream and pour it into a pie crust.
On Tuesday morning, we woke up to slightly sunny skies, and I had eggs and blueberries for breakfast and worked some more on the puzzle.
I love this cool coffee maker!
We all played games until the sun came out!
Then, we hit the beach!!
There were hurricane-sized waves!
We had a blast in the morning, and then came in for smoothies and ate All. The. Chips. for lunch.
The afternoon was spent by the pool at the Shoal’s Club. Mazen loved it!
It’s been a fun few days, and some of us are well-rested for even more fun!

Oh wow what a setting! The house is beautiful!
Sophie says
Looks like you and the fam are having a blast! I don’t blame you for eating the whole bag of chips at one sitting, LOL! I love Cape Cod chips. So yum!
Bobbie says
Family,food, wine, dessert and the beach! Who could ask for more? Enjoy!
Apriori says
Lovely! Totally random: What is the nailpolish shade on your toes? (Love it!)
KathEats says
OPI Worth a Pretty Penne. Rose gold obsessed and for some reason it stays on longer without chipping. I do it at home!
Apriori says
Awesome-thanks! I’m not a nailpolish person much but gosh, loved it! Rose gold is gorgeous! Thanks again! Peace.
Laura says
Such a fun family time!! But, no pictures of your adorable sister and that cute little baby bump??
Amanda says
Isn’t family time just the best! I live about 6 hours from my side of the family, so I cherish it that much more. It looks like you had a wonderful trip! I’m so glad 🙂
Katie says
I have that coffee maker & it’s worth every penny! Oh I love it so much! 🙂
Kathleen says
Can you share the link to the house your family is renting? My family has talked about going to bald head for years (I’ve been once for a day trip to wander around), but I know we would need a pool for the little ones! Do you have to purchase passes for the club pool or does it come with the house? Thanks 🙂 🙂
KathEats says
I’d be happy to at the end of our week. Shoot me an email! KathEats at gmail
Liz says
Looks like a great time! We have an older version of the BrewStation and love it so much!
Kelsey says
Your bald head trips always look like so much fun! It seems like this has been a family vacation spot for a while now….how did y’all choose it?
KathEats says
We’ve been coming here for over 20 years 🙂
India says
I have vacation envy. This all looks so wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Kath.
Lavues says
That’s absolute paradise. I’d never leave the place hah! Thanks for the views!
Jessica says
Is that part of a Syracuse decal I spy on the windshield of the golf cart? GO, ORANGE!!! ?
KathEats says
Haha yes!!
Lisa C. says
I feel relaxed reading about your trip! Where is your suit from? I love the top.
KathEats says
It’s the Twister from Athleta. Love it! I could run in it.
Jeanie says
I would love to have a week like that. Or even a few days. Sigh.
Nicole says
What is that game mazen is playing? My daughter would love that!
KathEats says
It’s called Blukus
