Who doesn’t love an impromptu vacation?! You don’t have to ask me twice! So naturally when my sister suggested I join them, I packed my bags that night. Two days later I was on my way to Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. About an hour into the ride my one year old nephew got car sick and I thought, WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO! Trust me, the smell of sour milk in a hot car is not ideal for a road trip but we all “cowboyed up” and pushed forward. Once we hit the national seashore I knew it was all worth it. Pit stop in Chincoteague, VA for some local blue crab and fish tacos was just what we needed. Refueled and ready to go, we made our way to Ocracoke. Once we reached the ferry I could hardly contain my excitement. My brother in law had always spoke so fondly of this island. And once we arrived I understood why. I fell in love immediately with pristine beaches and laid back island life. I will definitely be returning to this beautiful place!!!
