i've got that summertime sadness

with several long months of cold weather looming upon us, cory and i decided to pack up last weekend and head to the beach just one last time until next summer.  

we had a lovely time. although it was a bit too chilly to go swimming, the weather was still nice enough to enjoy most of our favorite local spots, including:

chops deli.  three words, people: broccoli. cheese. soup.

cape fear wine and beer

 and the oceanic.  i could live on that pier.

we also went for an unforgettable walk down the beach and saw the most beautiful sunset.  here are a few shots i captured (#nofilter, lol):

please hurry, summer 2014.  please.
