Well, this past weekend was the 21st annual NC Seafood Festival http://www.ncseafoodfestival.org/ in sunny Morehead City, NC. And for the 8th year in a row Fitz has managed to miss it....this time he was in Miami (South Beach) for a business meeting.

For anyone who had not attended the Seafood Festival it is a MUST DO.....it's like the NC State Fair only with less Red Necks and more Fisherman, not that you can understand what either is saying anyhow. Becky got to spend the weekend with her family and eating her favorite foods....as sea spud (seafood filled baked potato) and sweet corn on the cob drenched in butter. Other highlights for food included: funnel cake, alligator and black eye pea chili, shrimp burgers, crab sandwiches, and any other way there is to cook seafood. There is also a local 8K road race that is point to point, Becky just played the roll of support team for her parents, but they all had a great time. This is the ONLY race known to give a trophy for the person who spends the most time at the beer wagon after the race...no lie, this year is went to a couple who simple plopped down next to the coolers of beer and have a grand time. And they give out super cool door prizes to almost everyone there. Sophie did not get to attend the festival but did got to chase some bug on the beach and then take a long nap in the A/C...what more could a dog ask for?!

Hopefully next year Becky and Fitz can get a crew from Raleigh to come down and enjoy some people watching, and good seafood.
