OBX Overall

The Outerbanks was great, despite the ONE trash can and the THREE clocks on the 3rd floor ONLY! My nail polish is so cool! I love it! Everyone thought I came back from Europe... I WISH!! I'm practically all caught up with everything! I'll probably be a little skimpy on the blogging this week, I have a HUGE project for AP:World, it's practically 1/2 of my grade! It is SOO hot today!

Day #5- Pirates

Today I helped with a bouquet and boutonnieres, my cousin Erica got married today. Their Reverend looked EXACTLY like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. It was really weird, red tie, black leather coat, pinstripe pants, pirate-like shoes. Oh well. Seagulls flew over them as the kissed, it was so cool. Today is the last day we have to do actual stuff, we leave tomorrow. I miss my baby Piper.

Day #4

Stuff I left out of Wednesday's post: we went to DQ, yum, Midnight Truffle! We also climbed up and down the 214 steps of the Currituck Lighthouse.
Today is day 4. We stayed at the house mostly today. We went to Sonic and the Kitty Hawk strip of little 'Ma&Pa' stores. I bought my nail polish from Del Sol- it's peach and in the sun it's red. Really cool! Oh, I also bought more Taffy- I was running out of good flavors, the new stuff is REALLY sticky. I think the best thing about here, other than the beach is the names of the houses, for example:
Duck:
Aquaduck(blue house)
Duck a la orange(Orange house)
Duck duck Goose
Corolla:
M&Ms(trade marked logo and everything)
O'aces
Island Paradise(Redundant!)
Corolla: Where we are staying. The locals pronounce it like Ku-rah-luh. I found a really cool sticker the looked like a dictionary definition:
Corolla
(Ku-rah-luh)
1. A small drinking town with a slight fishing problem.
I thought that was cute.

Day #2/Day #3

DAY #2
That was yesterday. I bought a snorkeling duck and Salt Water taffy. MMM... I love Salt Water taffy, but this taffy is a little less flavorful than, say, Michigan Salt Water Taffy. I am getting REALLY good at Euchre. We did some water color and I have a quote for that "Sometimes, while painting, the napkin you use to soak up the water looks better than the picture." I am sure that's my personal quote because I've never heard it anywhere else. We watched Marley and Me, I cried. That's it, so I'm going to put Day #3 in so it's not so short!

DAY #3
Today, we went to TimBuck II today, again, and found Go Karts, I lost, almost got lapped I was so behind. I blame the short track, my brakes didn't work, and the guy shut us down early because we kept bumping into each other. We had burgers for lunch with REALLY good bacon! Mmm.... I am using way too many mms I really want some M&Ms. Half the females in the house(Family vacation-20 people) are going to the spa tomorrow. For $45 for pedicure, I'll stay home, or buy really cool color-changing nail polish.

Day #1

Day one was boring, just driving and driving and driving. We stopped at McDonalds, Wendy's and Pizzazz Pizzaria for Dinner. We arrived at 7:00 last night. We are now in North Carolina. Sorry this post is so short, but we are now in the presence of BLUE BELL ice cream and Drive-up Sonic resturants! The plan for today is SHOPPING. The rest of the week will hold more Shopping, hot tubbing, Sonic, Bluebell, the Spa, the pool, and the Ocean!
