It was time to leave the beaches behind us and head on. But first, big breakfast.
Ihop has a senior's section on their menu, a slightly smaller serving at a reduced price. Which of course we take advantage of.
Our original plan was to head to Aurora, NC, where my paternal grandmother's family came from, and where we spent many summers in the 1950s and 1960s visiting Aunt Louise and Granddaddy. But Norbert saw that it wasn't all that much further to Edenton, and felt the need to go there and greet my parents in the churchyard.
Edenton is a beautiful colonial small town, on the Albermarle Sound. My parents retired there and lived there many many years.
It is only a few minutes from the Waterfront to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, built 1736-1766.
My parents' ashes are buried in the Memorial Garden.
After a lunch at Dairy Queen, which unfortunately did not agree with me, we drove to Washington, NC., "Little Washington", as we used to call it.
Dinner was at a barbecue place across the parking lot from our hotel. I can very highly recommend Boss Hog's Chicken & BBQ.
It was very full, which is always a good recommendation. And we soon learned why. I had chicken, smashed potatoes, green beans, and hush puppies. Before:
