Chocolate!

My friend Jamie and I went to the Carolina Chocolate Festival in Morehead City today. This involved riding the 7 AM ferry to Cedar Island, and the 5 PM ferry back to the island, making for a very long day. Chocolate, of course, is worth it!

We enjoyed visiting the booths of the vendors, eating samples of their chocolate confections. There were chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate Oreo smoothies, chocolate covered Twinkies, chocolate crepes, chocolate cakes, chocolate bars, chocolate dipped fruit kebabs...well, you get the idea! Suffice it to say that there was so much chocolate in the room that the entire place smelled wonderful. No we didn't sample all of the items listed above! We did sample plenty, though...enough that we got quite full and almost to the point of feeling ill; we cut ourselves off before getting to that point, though, even though it meant missing out on the chocolate crepes. (The fact that there was a REALLY long line for the crepes didn't help, either!)

Here are some pictures, so you can enjoy all the chocolate goodness vicariously.

Mmmmmm....that looks delicious. I think I'll go eat one now!

Hope your life is sweet, wherever you are...
