OBX

So I mentioned Mike is retiring.  We really have no idea where we will end up next, so we discussed doing some of the touristy things around the area just in case we move, because depending on how far we move away we may or may not be back for several years and there are things we'd like to take the kids to do or see.

So far our lists include the aquariums and zoo's of the area, a few of the historic places (pepsi museum, tryon palace, lighthouses, forts, etc) and a few yearly festivals.

Our first adventure will not happen though till October - mainly because it is this will be the first chance we will get because of previous obligations we have.  Hubby is on his way to SC for 3 weeks of fun in the woods, and he texted me suggesting we head to OBX for columbus weekend (for those who do not know, OBX is the outerbanks).  We have been twice before - once just hubby and I went camping (we were dating) and once when Andrew was 8/9 months and my parents went up with us for a day trip.  This time we are planning on leaving after Andrew's Saturday soccer game and travel out and find a place to camp (ok really I will find a place and reserve a spot before hand) then check out the lighthouses (Bodie, Hatteras, Currituck, and Ocracoke) and the Wright Brothers National Memorial, as well as the aquarium, coast guard museum and of course the beach (and I will have to find the house used in the Nicholas Sparks movie and take a photo of Serendipity aka the Inn of Rodanthe).  It should be fun - We have never camped with a baby - but Eve is a pretty flexible baby.

So that is our first planned adventure - stay tuned for more :)
