Hanging on to Summer
Sunday officially marked the first day of fall, but here in North Carolina, it still feels like summer. To celebrate, we kicked off fall with a Sunday Funday. We began with mimosas and friends on a boat ride to Little Washington, where we even created a new mimosa drink we named the Pamlico Sunrise (since we were on the Pamlico River). If you’d like to try it, it’s a glass of Prosecco with a splash of orange juice, a splash of pineapple juice and just a dash of grenadine. Cheers to extending summer!
