I decided to do another photo an hour on the day we drove to the beach. Not really sure why I choose to do photo and hours on road trip days, maybe because these photos don't really seem to fit into a post of their own, but I still want to share them.. Anyway!
7:00 AM
On the road, driving into the sunrise!
8:00 AM
A quick stop at W House for some breakfast. It's becoming a fun tradition to stop for breakfast at a Waffle House on a road trip, in a town we've never been to.
9:00 AM
Bored in the car, and seeing this truck made me remember how good English Muffins are and gave me a serious craving. A craving that I could not satisfy, so I took a picture instead. Steven said "What are you doing?? Don't take a picture of that truck!! o_0"
10:00 AM
Stopped at a Sheetz for fuel. I was a little too excited about seeing this screme egg..
11:00 AM
The second half of the journey to the beach take us through lots and lots of farmland.
12:00 PM
BEACH! By the time we get to the big bridge I am about to fly out of my seat from excitement. I think I may have screamed when I first sighted the water. Probably a good thing I wasn't the driver.
1:00 PM
Since our check in wasn't until 3, we drove straight to the beach access and ran to the ocean. It was a really fun thing to just drive straight to the beach, not stopping at our hotel first.
2:00 PM
Picked up a few groceries and checked out a couple shops, including this bookstore that sold all kinds of Outer Banks history books that I wanted to buy.
3:00 PM
Checked in to our Sand Dollar motel! The first time we stayed here we could barely afford the cheapest tiny cramped room with a tiny bed. This time we finally moved to the top, and stayed in the king suite, which included a little kitchen, a couch and a table! We felt like kings.
4:00 PM
Resting on the bed and watching HGTV. It's probably a good thing we don't have cable at home. That stuff is addictive.
5:00 PM Consisted of more HGTV and eating cereal.
6:00 PM
Back to the beach for an evening walk
7:00 and 8:00 PM
Still walking on the beach and then heading back to our room for more HGTV!
We had such a fun trip and I can't wait to share all my photos!
