Well my weekend trip out to Holden Beach has come and gone. I was able to spend time with my parents and enjoyed the great hospitality of my sister Dore and bro-in-law Shane. Thanks for letting me stay at your place again! The weather over there was HOT. I think there was not a day that was under 90. Hot and humid. You better have your AC in order over there on a hot day or you are in for a miserable time. During my visit I was able to hit the spots that I enjoy visiting while in Holden Beach.
First I was able to check out the local surf shop, Cape Fear Surf Shop and browse the Quiksilver and Billabong decal section.
On this trip Angela told me to get some Oakley's as an early Father's Day gift. Mike at Cape Fear was a cool guy and gave me a good price on some polarized Square Wires. Next time I go I'll have to get some pics with Mike and the inside of his shop.
Another one of my favorite spots to visit is Provisions restaurant located just to the right of the Holden Beach Bridge. The restaurant is right on
the water and they have a small dock for boats to dock on while they eat. The food is delicious and the best fish on the menu is the grouper. I would recommend either a grilled grouper sandwich or a group-salad sandwich. Conch Fritters on the side are a must. These fried fritters won't be found on any low-fat diet, but they taste amazing. The inside of the restaurant is quaint and the walls are decorated with actual license plates from various states across the country. Should I ever move to Holden Beach I think I may donate one of my Utah plates to be 
displayed.

Looks like a fun trip, thanks for posting pics so we can see your family!! Hope you are all well.
Cape Fear has a great rugby tournament every year. Great place.
Wendy - yes it was nice to see everyone again, thanks :)
brohammas - do you still go over and play? Which month is the tournament?
I was at Cape Fear today searching a Father's day gift. Mike wasn't around so I couldn't snag a discount. I haven't eaten at Provision's in probably a year. When did you guys eat there??
LOL!!! Shane didn't tell you that we snuck over there on Saturday for lunch?
No...so while we were at home cooking you guys went to Provisions. No wonder Shane didn't eat supper until later that night.
Provision Company rocks! We have vacationed at Holden Beach the last couple of years and we eat there more than any other place around. Going to a wedding in Myrtle Beach this fall, looks like we'll have to make a quick side trip.
