With my grandpa at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. This was my first trip to the aquarium– and my first trip to the beach. My grandparents took me to the aquarium–um– three or four times a day when we were at the beach that time.
Yes, I used to have blond hair with some wave to it, Kind of like a golden retriever!
The little stuffed bull I’m holding in my hands was a prized possession.
I believe it was at this trip to the beach that I lost it, and we had a massive manhunt out for him.
I think he was eventually recovered.
But I don’t what his ultimate fate actually was.








See the horseshoe crab?
I saw Willie tucked in with it the last time we were at Mamaw & Pappy’s.
