Outer Banks 2013: Day 3, Sunday June 9th

8:20 AM
...It is 8:20 in the morning. Let me say that one more time, I went to bed at 1 AM last night and IT IS 8:20 IN THE MORNING!!!! If you thought my little brother getting up at 8:30 yesterday was bad you should have seen him today! 6:30!!!!!!! He woke up at 6 #*#&#*@ 30!!!!! Well I am just kidding... kind of ;) But seriously though, who does that?
Well today might be a little bit of a boring day for you all, bit I am sooooo excited! We are finally going down to the beach today!! I can't wait!

10:30 AM
Just got all sunscreaned up and ready for the beach! Not a whole lot has happened since I woke up mad at the world this morning ;) I had a blueberry cream cheese muffin for breakfast (I like muffins lately...) and I got to eat it out on the deck of our condo while I finished my book! 
We haven't even made it down to the beach yet and I am already loving this vacation! :)

2:10 PM
Just finished lunch! Getting ready to head back down to the beach soon! :)

7:15 PM
Well we finally came in from the beach! We came back to the condo from the swimming pool at around 6:15, and since then have been getting ready to do out to eat
At the beach today we threw the football, went on a walk to find seashells, and laid in the sun :) 

We also found sand fleas! 
They are little crabs (with no pinchers) that look like over grow fleas.
 I attempted to take my boogie board out into the ocean and ride the waves but, because of the tropical storm, we have really chopy waves and it is hard to get a good ride.
Check back with you all later!

9:30 PM
Just finished having dinner at Flippers! I had Spinach Artichoke Dip... which was just ok. 

Now we are on our way to play putt-putt golf at The Emerald Forest!

mom golfing :)

10:40 PM
Finally made it back to the condo and man 'o man has it been a long day! We stayed down at the beach for a few hours, came back to the condo to eat lunch, went back down to the beach for around three more hours, went to the pool for an hour, came back to the condo, got ready, went out to eat, played putt-putt, and then here we are now! :)
Right now we are all chilling in the living room of our condo while watching the Karate Kid and eating oreos :)
Oh just by the way, I got fried today! Obviously I am not good at putting on sunscreen... I have little strips and spots all over me that I missed, but the biggest one? I missed the whole backside of my legs... No. Joke. Oh well, maybe I will just get tan :)


12:25 AM
Just wanted to get back on really quick and tell you all goodnight and I love you! :) Sleep tight!

What's in my... Toiletry Roll

I would just like to let you all know that I am packing for a twelve day trip, so for some of you this might not be enough, for some it may be to much. It all depends on personal preference and this is what I have found works for me! I would also like you to know that we are going to be driving everywhere on this vacation, so to an extent I don't have to worry about how much I pack or the sizes of my products. This is my Toiletry Roll  that I hang on the back of the door in the bathroom wherever we are staying. I am going to go through pocket by pocket and show you what I am bringing. In the Top Pocket I have mostly random things. I have Band-aids for small cuts and blisters Q-Tips Safety Pins, in case a strap breaks or something And the brown thing on the left side is a bra clip for razor back tank tops In the Second Pocket  I have skincare things Hawaiian Tropic Clear Sense Sunscreen SPF 4 Travel pack of equate Makeup Remover Wipes And in...

Beach Bags

Ok so new update on how to pack a beach bag. But Warning before hand! The way my family packs for the beach it takes three regular sized people and a seven year old to carr y! I'm going to beak this down into the separate bags that we carry. My Bag My personal Sunscreen, such as your facial sunscreen. This would also be the category for tanning lotions and oils. Two towels. One to lay on or put in your chair, and one to wrap up in or wipe out your eyes. My beach mat! It is straw with pink edges it rolls up perfectly and fits in my bag. I got mine at Target but IDK if they still sell them or not, try  www.windycitynovelties.com/straw-beach-mats Plastic Bags or Sandwich bags to put pretty seashells in! A Book or a Magazine, or both!  The Christy Miller Series , like I've suggested at the bottom of the page,  by Robin Jones Gunn is a good beach read mainly because they take place on a beach! A Camera, this is my absolute best friend...

Best Beach Ever!

So... I am debating on if I should even share this with you because it is so amazing! This is the most absolutely amazing beach I have ever been to in my life! It is Emerald Isle NC it is perfect!  So in my mind it is so perfect because: It is on the beautiful coast of North Carolina (which is where I live, and where I love!) It's name is Emerald ISLE so its on a cute little island (Duh!), at some places o the island you can see the Bogue Sound (yes this is a body of water, and yes this is a real place) and the Atlantic Ocean on the other It is a quite little town so everyone if friendly, and the beaches are never crowded There is a nice little aquarium just up the island a bit The is a little shopping center called Emerald Plantations that includes a movie theater , restaurants, shops, and a river where you can feed Sea Turtles (this is especially fun because there's one that is bigger than my six year old brother! It lives at the bottom and only comes up occasiona...
