Topsail State Park

 Our annual camping trip with John, Rena and family was a little different this year.  Jim came down with a bad upper respiratory infection the day before we were suppose to head down to Topsail State Park to tent camp for two nights.  The girls and I headed down to go swim, and cook hot dogs and s'mores the first day.  Then, Friday (the second day), Jim decided to join in on a day at the beach, and hanging out to grill hamburgers that night.  We decided not to tent camp since Jim was not feeling well.  We still made the best out of the time we did have together.

I have a picture from each year that we have gone to Topsail with Jim, MV, John, and Ben in the ocean together!
