Outer Banks 2013: Day 8, Friday June 14th

9:00 AM
Just woke up... and ate more Krispy Kreme Doughnuts ;)  Breakfast isn't a fun meal to talk about, it is the same everyday!
Well today is our last day in Emerald Isle... After this we are going to a few other places, but this is our last actual beach day...which is kind of sad


1:00 PM
Well, to make my little brother happy we made a deal with him that we would go to the pool first this morning. We ended up staying at the pool until lunch because it didn't make any sense to walk all the way down to the beach to just walk back an hour later! So we swam and floated around on the pool all morning :)



7:00 PM
We wanted to stay out at the beach as long as possible today, so we stayed out until now!
I wrote my name in the sand :)





Summer 2013

Look at this awesome sandcastle we found!!


I am going to stay in this house one day... It looks like a Barbie House!

And if that is Barbie's House, then this has to be Ken's :)
 It was a colder day on the beach today, but this was the best waves we have had all week! I rode my boogie board most of the day today, which I loved :)
 I got dunked and flopped and rolled and grinded against the bottom a few times today, but it was worth it! The sad part is, I lost my sunglasses :'(  I have worn them in the ocean a million times, but when I got rolled one time today they just disappeared... I guess a little mermaid is wearing them now ;)
After losing my sunglasses, I was pretty mad. So me and Dad decided to go play Tennis :) ...I am definitely not going to be going pro anytime soon, that's for sure ;) I don't like to run... or sweat, so that makes Tennis kind of hard! But I did discover that I can hit the ball really high... behind me! ;) I am just awesome :)
When we had chased the balls enough we went back down to the beach to go for a walk and play in the sand before we left. 
And now here I am, getting ready to go out to eat :)


8:00 PM
Remember how I said I got rolled in the waves? Well I had sand EVERYWHERE!!! I had to wash my hair three times, rinse it, and then condition it, and when I got out there were still seashells in my hair!
(After I finally got the seashells out of my hair) We went out to the board walk to take some family pictures :) 


Now we are on our way to eat at Rucker Johns!

9:30 PM
Got back to the room, now it is time to start repacking.... :'(

1:00 AM
Just finished repacking (for the most part) and I am zapped! 'Night guys! :)

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...
