I still have many more photos to go through from our OBX trip earlier this summer, but I thought I’d at least try to share some from the first half of the week since the months are rapidly ticking by.
We really enjoyed ourselves on this trip. After living in North Carolina for 3 years, this was our first visit to the beach we had heard so much about. We planned our excursion for early May in order to beat the summer crowd, which ended up working out great for us. The only downside was that the water was too cold for any real ocean activities. We had plenty of fun, however, making sandcastles, spending time at the pool, exploring local restaurants, and seeing the great sights nearby.
Some of the highlights from the first days included seeing the Bodie and Hatteras lighthouses, visiting the Wright Brothers’ First in Flight monument, and scaling the dunes at Jockey Ridge Park. While at the Hatteras lighthouse, we bumped into the family of Brian Schlag, a former missionary I served with in Germany, who also happened to live for a while near my parents outside of Philly.
I’ll try to get the rest of the photos up soon.
