August 5th marked 32 years of marital bliss, and it was fun to stop for a few days in Belhaven, NC to celebrate our togetherness. When we were newlyweds, we lived in Jackson, MS, where Ted attended Belhaven College. So in some sort of round about way, we were being sentimental, you see!
Belhaven North Carolina (population 2042) is an interesting town. Kind of reminded us of Mayberry, RFD (Opie and Barney Fife in real life!).
Ted took me here for our anniversary dinner date.
(He owes me!)
We enjoyed our stay at Water Street B & B (the highlight of the stop)... the owners are boaters who fell in love with the town, and stayed. Meet our new friends, the Fishers... they fed us well and told good stories.
Belhaven has a museum that I can't begin to describe. Upstairs, over the police station, is a combination of one lady's button collection (I'm talking millions of buttons arranged on cardboard squares) and assorted dead things (like two-headed baby pigs) in formaldehyde, accompanied by Nazi memorabilia and canned goods from the 1940's that have started exploding black ooze all over the shelves. All without the added benefit of air conditioning. No kidding! (I got all the way to the back of the building-where the putrifying canned goods were- and realized if I didn't get out of there quick it was going to be bad...)
You should go there if you're ever in the neighborhood.Yes, it was a memorable Happy Anniversary.
We crack ourselves up! :)
