We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving at our house, Anchors Awey, in Ocean Isle Beach! We went down the weekend before so we could have a whole week of sunshine.
We spent a lot of time relaxing in the newly redone tiki bar, which is actually getting new furniture over New Years!
Started Thanksgiving morning with my caramel apple cider mimosas, before a beach family football game. We came home to cook a spread of food/warm up what we bought premade. I was totally going for an uber relaxed Thanksgiving and ordered 75% of the meal. It was a really great decision!
Ocean Isle puts on a great Christmas weekend after Thanksgiving. We went to the celebration with Santa, hot cocoa and a tree lighting on Friday, parade on Saturday and watched the Floatilla boat parade Saturday night from our deck.
The rest of the time, we soaked up the beautiful sunsets, plenty of puzzle time, eating at Ocean Isle Fish Co and shopping at the Christmas store at Callahans.
We loved our time so much, that we decided to go back for New Years. There’s just something about the ocean that makes us all so happy. Although, I am hoping for a perfectly white Christmas before then!
