We were to leave Sunday morning at 9, but hit a little setback when Andrew woke up with a fever. I got him to Patient First just as it was opening. Luckily it was the beginning stages of an ear infection, which is treatable and no big deal! Once he had one dose of Tylenol he was fine. We pulled out about 9:30 and headed to Emporia. The kids got dropped off, one at each grandparents' house.
We stopped to eat lunch in Rocky Mount, then continued on the long, LONG journey down 95 South to HHI. We finally arrived about 7PM. We are staying at the Westin, which is very nice. The room is large and has a great view of the ocean. The pool area here is fantastic. There are 3 swimming pools, one totally covered (including part of the deck around it) and a big hot tub. There is a koi pond and a beach bar that serves lunch. All of this is oceanfront. There are lots of shady areas to sit and people watch! Most of the day there is live music.
When we arrived we were starving so we decided to eat at the restaurant here at the resort. It's called Oceans and looks out on the beach. We started with crab and spinach dip which was fabulous. Rick and I both got the seared scallops with peach chutney. Sounds weird but it was delicious! We took a walk down to the beach and couldn't believe how warm the water is. 87 degrees! A storm brought us back inside shortly-and I began reading book #1!
