44. North Carolina

 It wasn’t a long drive till we reached North Carolina. I decided a beach restaurant would be the best so we drove to Sunset Beach, NC. I was still in the mood for seafood. Little did I know that while there were plenty of homes and quite a few people, there weren’t many places to eat. In fact, if you’re thinking of opening a restaurant, I would recommend this town. We had a hard time finding anything to eat and it was starting to get late. After driving back across the bridge we noticed a sign that pointed to a house-like structure. It said seafood so we decided to give it a shot. Luckily they were still open for lunch, albeit a late lunch. They were extremely hospitable even though it was obvious we were going to be the last of their lunch patrons for the day. They showed us to a table upstairs where we started with an order of hush puppies. I’m not sure if they were that good or if we were just famished but we devoured them while waiting for our main course. Dennis had a shrimp po-boy and I had a tilapia and shrimp combo, both of which were served with fries and cole slaw. Nothing like a little coastal southern hospitality. While we dined we could see people fishing in the waters next to the restaurant and could just imagine them fishing for our food. After a delicious lunch we drove back towards Florida to spend the night before our flight to Texas the next day.
