It was a sad, gloomy day as we piled into the van this morning. No one wanted to leave, including TJ, who is not a “beach” person. That is, until I introduced him to the paradise that is the Outer Banks. As we were driving off the island, he made the comment about looking for a job out there. I laughed and said go for it! If you have never been to the OBX, I highly encourage you to go at least once before you die. There are no other beaches like it. We barely scratched the surface of things to do, and are planning to go back in mid-October for a long weekend. I am including some pictures from our week. We made it home this evening about 5:30PM. Reality set in as soon as we walked into the house. Meals to prepare, clothes to wash, kids to feed. . . time to get back into the swing of things!
Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 places I have been or would like to go. . . 1. Santiago, Chile, South America This was my first trip when I was in the military. It was awesome! 2. Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S. Traveled here with the military. I had a great time, although I only stayed for a few nights. It was too cold to swim in the ocean but it was nice to see the beach. 3. Palermo, Sicily, Europe This is my family's roots. My great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Palermo, and it was so awesome to be able to share in my heritage. I traveled here while in the military, and I loved every bit of this country. Mt. Etna is also located in Sicily, and on several occasions (I've been to Sicily several times), Mt. Etna was erupting. It was majestic to see, especially at night. Too many highlights to say what my favorite part of this country was, but the memories I hold will definitely last a lifetime. 4. Rota, Spain, Europe Again, traveled here with the military.
