as previously mentioned, the weather for most of our atlantic beach week was pretty windy. for this reason, the big epic adventure we had planned kept getting postponed. but, finally, on our second to last day, we received word that our adventure was ON! what adventure, you ask? well, two-ish years ago, during a trip […]

atlantic beach week. the beachy times.
now that we no longer have an rv, we are forced to vacation like regular people again, staying in hotels and resorts and the like. for christmas last year, the grandlidboms gifted us with a week’s stay at own of their timeshare properties, so for our first such regular people vacation, we headed out to […]
jockey’s ridge state parkOBX adventure
just north of our campground is the most visited state park in north carolina. jockey’s ridge state park is home to the tallest sand dunes on the east coast and the ecosystem and history is very interesting. our first visit to the park was to take a ranger guided kayaking trip. isaac didn’t want to […]
the ocean pursuit wreck.OBX adventure
i’m not exactly sure how i happened upon it, most likely it was instagram, but when i found out there was a ship sinking in the sand somewhere near our campground, i made it a personal quest to figure out it’s exact location and take a field trip. the ocean pursuit is a 72′ scallop […]
ocracoke day.OBX adventure.
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 […]

sunshine key rv resort.
during our time in the keys this year, we stayed in sunshine key rv resort. it’s part of our collection of thousand trails affiliated campgrounds, so it’s relatively inexpensive, but it was hard to get reservations during these snowbird months. anyways. first things first. upon our arrival, derek cooked up the fresh vermillion snapper he […]
florida keys pit stop.
while it seems like it was in another life completely, it was less than two months ago when we loaded up the rv for a trip back down to the florida keys. we planned for the trip to take 13 days (leaving after co-op and arriving in time for co-op two weeks later). derek and […]
hazel’s royal court meadowland quilt.
this is the tale of that time when i spontaneously joined a quilt along on instagram and whipped out a quilt in record time, using only (mostly) fabrics from my stash, which makes it feel like it was free. i joined the meadowland quilt along on instagram, hoping it would give me some inspiration and […]
up the atlantic coast of florida.
wow. it really has been forever since i blogged. i’m having a hard time getting my mojo. for one. it’s hard to look back at these days. but, also, i can’t remember all of the details. so. i’ll do my best. when i left off, we were in miami. we had visited everglades, big cypress, […]
