We've been off the blog for a few days here due to a bout with sinus issues. Jon is congested and I've had a sinus headache for several days. I'm feeling better, but Jon is still pumping the vitamin C.
We had a great date on Friday despite a lack luster dinner experience. We ate at Newick's, which is a local favorite, and we were not impressed. Now, we shared a cup of the thick and creamy chowder, which was really tasty...probably because it's made with cream, thus is not so good for you. I had a haddock sandwich and Jon had haddock nuggets. We left feeling greasy and too full though neither of us finished our meal. It was just a fried oily meal. If you're going to eat at Newick's, make it a part of a progressive supper and just get the chowder.
After dinner we went to Hampton beach and walked while the sun set. Being on the east coast, this just means the ocean gets dark, but it was so relaxing and the waves were pretty. The water is still very cold, 64 degrees. (SIDENOTE: Jon was looking at a survival guide at the bookstore today that said in 64 degree water you lose feeling in your extremities in 15 minutes and can only survive swimming in water that temp for about 1-4 hours.) We walked back to the car on the boardwalk, enjoying the summer vacationers, henna tattoos, and ice cream stands.
The sites at the beach made us wonder if we're tourists. We do live here, but we do a lot of tourist stuff. Plus, we live live in North Carolina. But I take a lot of pictures, but neither of us own Bermuda shorts. Thoughts?
