atlantic beach week. cape lookout shenanigans.

Posted on July 27, 2022August 31, 2022by sarah

atlantic beach week. the aquarium.

Posted on July 25, 2022August 27, 2022by sarah

our first non-beach excursion during our week at atlantic beach was a visit to the pine knoll shores aquarium. it’s the perfect size for a quick morning visit, leaving enough time for an afternoon in the sand. obviously, we took all the pictures in the photobooth type places… the ultraviolet room with all the jellyfish […]

Posted on June 14, 2022June 24, 2022by sarah

for our second day in the new river gorge, we headed north to do some exploring. we had a few things planned around fayetteville, but we took the advice of an instagram friend who said the previous nights torrential downpours would fill up cathedral falls, and took a slight detour to check it out. slight […]

Posted on June 13, 2022June 24, 2022by sarah

we have always wanted to visit new river gorge, but it’s so close that it’s one of those places you just keep putting off until another time. then it became an official national park, so we pushed it up the list, and finally made it happen this summer, basically the minute school ended for the […]

after my time in covid jail, we had the girls tested twice, four days apart. and even though both times were negative and we hadn’t had anyone show covid symptoms, anna was still required by her school to quarantine for another full week. we decided the best course of action was to take a spontaneous […]
