North Carolina Adventure

Over spring break, a few of us took a trip down to NC to visit the Wright Brothers museum at Kitty Hawk and go to the outer banks (sand dunes that overlook the ocean). North Carolina is only about 20 minutes away from Regent. We had a blast! Dance parties in the car to pop songs and Disney, running around the Wright memorial taking pictures, a picnic lunch, going into fun kite stores and trinket shops, getting Starbucks, and just being silly.

The outer banks are incredible. You feel like you are in the Sahara desert because all you see is sand and sky. And the sand is the softest I've ever felt. In some places, it was so packed you barely made footprints. And we also experienced "the brew through." It's a drive in liquor store! Apparently, they are popular in the area (since there isn't much to do in NC, pretty rural) and you just drive your car through and get drinks. Of course we got sodas, but there were so many boxes of alcohol in there! Later that night, we drove to Newport News to have dinner with Erica's family. I hadn't seen them since Thanksgiving, so that was a treat. Enjoy these pics!

Best photo of the trip! I'm on the far right.

We couldn't resist posing with the statues :)
We can fly! I love adventures with these girls.
