Looks like I've pulled a disappearing act on you, huh?!! My trip to Emerald Isle was wonderful - it was just too short! The time seemed to fly by. Ashley and I went to the beach every day while Sonny left bright and early to drive to Cherry Point Marine Base golf course. The condo that we stayed in was great and we had a nice view of the ocean from our balcony. We drove to Beaufort on Friday and to New Bern on Saturday to explore the towns. New Bern was my favorite! In 2010, a non-profit organization recruited local artists to implement hand-painted designs on life-size fiberglass bears to coincide with New Bern's 300th anniversary. The bears are all over the historic downtown as well as in outlying areas. They are adorned with hats, flags, flowers and other creative features. Originally there were 50 bears erected but today there are over 70!! You can get a Bear Town map and do your own tour of the bears which is what we did. Here are a few of the bears we saw:
 |
| Sleepy Bear in front of a motel |
 |
| Harvest Bear |
 |
| Sonny with Mitchell Bear |
 |
| Dr Paw |
 |
| Ashley & I at the Hospitality building with their bear |
 |
| Probably the only time we got Sonny on the beach!! |
 |
| Relaxing! |
 |
| My toes in the sand! |
