If you are following me on Instagram, you saw my posts from the past week while I was at the beach. If you aren't following me on Instagram, what are you waiting for!? I'm leaving for Europe on Thursday...so you are definitely going to want to be over there!!
Here's my recap from the beach...with my Instagram images! My recap with camera pictures is coming later this week!
All packed and ready to go!
We made it! Stopping at the Visitor's Information Center for brochures!
One drawback to the Outer Banks. Traffic, traffic and more traffic! And this is after arriving 'early!'
We sat in traffic so long, that the GPS thought we were walking! I've never seen that screen before!
Dark skies on the first day! Luckily it didn't storm!
A family favorite! Skip-Bo!
The beach!
Sunset over the Sound!
Breakfast by the Sound!
The Sound, again.
Bodie Island lighthouse
Riding the ferry to Ocracoke Island. We didn't realize until afterwards that it was a one-hour ride...both ways! Oops!
Horses on Ocracoke Island
Ocracoke Island Lighthouse
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse! AHHH! That light is AMAZING! Gotta love the camera on the iPhone as well!
While everyone went to the beach or enjoyed the pool, I preferred sitting inside and reading!
Duck Donuts. A must if you visit the Outer Banks. Best. Darn. Donuts. Ever!
