Hello everyone! Sorry I have not posted in a while. I had originally planned to blog in North Carolina but not only did we not have WiFi at our resort (and used half of our total data allowance 4 days into our new billing cycle….yikes), but, to sum it up, we were just too busy doing nothing and it was great. We had one of the most relaxing weeks ever. Usually we run around like crazy and try to fit everything into a week, and I honestly thought that was how the week was going to go! It was nice to watch tv in our PJs until 11, then head to the beach to soak in all that sunshine and saltwater that is oh so good for the soul, then cook a nice dinner and head out to the fishing pier to enjoy a nice sunset or mini golf and have some icecream. Yupppppp, it was great! Some might say boring, but to us? Heaven. We seriously considered taking every south ramp we saw back to the OBX (sorry NOT sorry). Our resort was perfect and being able to enjoy each other’s company was the best. We made a stop in Williamsburg, Virginia to go to Busch Gardens and walk around colonial Williamsburg over this past weekend. Those were the 2 busiest days of the week and somehow they went by the slowest!
Anyway, to stop my rambling, here are some pictures from our trip! Ranging from 5/22 to 6/1 (I put descriptions with them). I would seriously recommend going to the Outer Banks in North Carolina if you can. We have never heard of it and now we are in love! It is relaxing, non-commercialized, and people are friendly and island life just seems enjoyable. Enjoy people! -Steph

Somewhere in Delaware. It was sunny the whole way to North Carolina, we couldn’t have asked for better and more upbeat weather!! Crossing into Virginia from Delaware (after driving for MILES of farm land, this was wonderful to see!) We also saw some dolphins while driving over this bridge.5/24/15- Sunday
This was Skim City, a surf store. This picture does not do it justice, it was so cool! Lighthouse in Corolla, NC! I did not get the name Our resort had a stocked fishing pond, so we went fishing at sunset! We were fishing and all of a sudden, a turtle clunked onto the pavement and waddled his way back into the pond. We laughed so hard when he fell into the water! *KERPLUNK*

We went mini-golfing on Tuesday evening after dinner. This is a panorama, I thought it looked so great with the sky so blue and all of the colors! After mini golf, we made our way to the Avalon Fishing Pier in Kill Devil Hills. This was our first time there, we just spent a few dollars on pinball.5/27/15- Wednesday
