ocracoke day.
OBX adventure.

Posted on October 18, 2020May 13, 2021by sarah

we knew that for one of derek’s days off while we were in the outer banks, we wanted to make the long cruise down to ocracoke, to check things out. it’s about an hour or so to the hatteras-ocracoke ferry from our campground, so we obviously stopped for duck donuts along the way. (the girls […]

OBX adventure

Posted on October 17, 2020May 13, 2021by sarah

while we were in the outer banks, we knew we wanted to add to our lighthouse collection. there are five outerbanks lighthouses, but one of them is only reachable by a ferry and not really from where we were staying and covid and all the things. so, we would only be adding four of the […]

nc aquarium on roanoke island.
OBX adventure

Posted on October 16, 2020May 13, 2021by sarah

on our first full day in the outer banks, it was super rainy, which isn’t really optimum beach weather. so we loaded up the kiddos to head to the north carolina aquarium on roanoke island. it’s not very big. and, thanks to covid, we had to schedule our visit and then trudge along in a […]

Posted on October 1, 2020October 1, 2020by sarah

great smoky mountain national park.

Posted on September 29, 2020September 29, 2020by sarah

once we moved to the north carolina side of the park, to smokemont campground, we had a long deliberation about what hikes we wanted to do. we had to take into account the length, elevation, danger, our kids level of motivation, weather. all the things. eventually we decided on the chimneys hike. it’s not super […]

Posted on September 29, 2020September 29, 2020by sarah

the activity the kids were most looking forward to on our trip to the smokies was tubing. our lazy river time in boone, nc has gotten them hooked. the tiny town of townsend, tennessee, just outside the park has several options, and derek booked reservations on our second day of the trip. and then it […]
