Daydreaming

Wishing we were here again...

OBX Day 1

Quick photo update - well, 2 photos anyway.

From our visit to the Wright Brother's Memorial (it was hot, hot, hot) this morning -



Scenic pictures to be uploaded later - it's time for dinner! Yummy fresh seafood here we come!

Happy 5th Anniversary to Us

We've taken a little trip out to the Outer Banks to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary - 5 y.e.a.r.s! I wanted to make a quick post before we start our fun filled (and hot) day. It sounds/feels so cliche to say that it doesn't feel like a year has gone by but then again I can barely remember what it was like to not be married. We've been blessed these past five years and I look forward to many, many, many more! Especially if we continue to celebrate in such a fun fashion.

Things done thus far:
-arrive in Manteo (wildfire smoke did not deter us)
-check into our lovely room at the White Doe Inn (pictures to follow)
-eat dinner at Basnight's Lone Cedar (YUM!)
-check to see that the ocean is still there at Nags Head (it is, and very blue)
-see the "Lost Colony" performance (which starts at 8:30pm and goes until almost 11pm! bug spray is a must)

Stupid Monday

This made my Monday not-so-happy:


Can't quite see it?


How about now?


That would be a HUGE crack in my windshield (or windscreen if you're British). It immediately happened after something small, with a lot of velocity or weight (or both) came out of NO WHERE and hit me. Seriously. I was on a 35 mph road with NO ONE in front of me when it happened. I'm still puzzled.

Any who - it's supposed to be get replaced tomorrow. I hope it does because we've got big plans for the weekend that include this car!

On a happier note, check out what's blooming -

Gladiola (first one of the season!)


Cana lily


Salvia & knock out rose bush


And blueberries! 2 out of the 4 bushes have been fruitful (YAY!) They're surrounded by netting to keep the birds from eating them all (like they did last year)
