Beaufort, NC

Quick blog about Beaufort.

I went to Beaufort with my mom, aunt, and cousin on Mother’s Day. Beaufort has always been one of my favorite places to go. It’s got that quaint small-town beachy feel. Plus, Shackleford Banks and some of the other islands are nearby, and you can take boats out to the islands to watch the wild horses.

Although I’ve considered New Bern to be home for all of my life, I’d never actually taken one of the boats out to the islands near Beaufort, which is about 45 minutes away from home.

However, after a delicious meal at Clawson’s (I ordered my favorite–a caesar salad with boiled shrimp and fried oyster and a side of banana bread), we decided to take a boat out.

We got to see a wild horse, but I didn’t get a very good picture of it. Afterwards, we wandered around some of the shops, ate some fudge, and headed back home.
