This summer we thought we would do something a bit different for our beach weekend. My mom's parents had a house in Nags Head and we have been back a few times since those days. I thought it would be fun to introduce Braxton to a different kind of beach, the Outer Banks. Seeing as he pretty much grew up vacationing at Carolina Beach, this was certainly a change for him. Be it early in the summer season, the wind was whipping and the surf was a cool 55*F. The two mornings we were there we went exploring, the Hatteras Lighthouse and Jockey's Ridge. Then, we packed a cooler and spent the rest of the time sitting out in the sun. What a great kick off to summer and Memorial Day Weekend before Braxton dives head first into ER rotation with night shifts. Cheers to summer and more summer adventures!
Nature hike around Jockey's Ridge State Park.
Local Ice Cream Place...Booty Treats... Pirate themed... Yum
Maybe booty treats is named after where the treat will end up... right on my booty!
Beach day with Hatteras Lighthouse in the background.
Ocean in front, Lighthouse in the back
We climbed the lighthouse! 8 stories of a spiral staircase...got my heart pumping!
This is why they call it the OBX.
The light keepers quarters. Such a neat museum!
What a lovely memorial day!
