After years of coming over from Greensboro to visit the grandparents, I would have to say my family knows New Bern inside and out. We've done the touristy tours. We've eaten in all the restaurants. We've browsed Books A Million a thousand times too many.
New Bern lost it's pizzaz for us when The Wisest Man in the Universe got sick. As Adam said over Spring Break..."Granddaddy was New Bern. Now Fairfield Harbor is just a boring place full of old people." No sailing. Tennis just isn't the same. The pool has lost it's sparkle.
We are forced into mindless consumerism...And finally...insanity, as evidenced below.
Because we wouldn't be The Wisest Man in the Universe's family if we didn't find the silver lining on this cloudy day...
We brought the picture back and showed it to him. He smiled and shook his head. Yep, we're his people all right, and there's not a damned thing he can do about it!
