Living out loud in the Carolinas

Category: travel

  • I’ve just returned from my first trip to North Carolina’s Outer Banks, or OBX as you’ll see when you visit.  OBX can be found on tshirts, stickers, can coozies.  Each July my family spends a week together either at the mountain house or some other location, usually a beach.  This time we chose the Outer…

  • Momo turns 21 next Spring and she wants to go to Vegas to celebrate.  I looooove Vegas!  But jeez, we just went in August 09 and now we have a kidlet on the way.  I have no idea how I’ll be able to pull this off.  Next Spring is also our 10th anniversary and in…

  • Papa and Gigi have just informed us that they have rented a house for the family for a week at the Outer Banks this Summer.  SO excited!  I’ve never been to the Outer Banks and I’ve always wanted to go.  I’ve loved seeing all of Jenny’s pics from her yearly family vacation there.  Too bad…

  • Don’t worry, my blog isn’t going to be all kidlet all the time.  I am still interested in many other things.  Like…when CSP & I get together with his parents we talk politics a lot more than we do with my my parents.  His parents are of the same political party affiliation as we are…

  • Let me tell you about my latest obsession, Foursquare.  Y’all need to sign up.  It’s so fun.  I’m still a newbie though.  Ok so what is it?  It’s a social networking- city guide- sorta like twitter-thing. It’s perfect for traveling to a new city too.  You can see what the local like, where they like…

  • Now that I’m back in the land of the computers I can tell you all about my cruise last month with my Nanny (my grandmother).  CSP & I had planned on going down to Florida to visit her for a few days.  Then CSP couldn’t get off work.  Nanny’s been getting a little cabin fever…

  • Saturday morning I’m hitting the road for Florida. First to Nanny’s house for a couple nights, then on to our cruise. For those of you just tuning in, Nanny is my 86 year old Irish grandmother. She married my Pappy during the war and moved from Ireland to America with him. He was a dashing…

  • For the last few months I’ve been planning a trip to see my 86 year old Irish grandma, Nanny. Nanny lives in Florida in the town where I was born. She’s been feeling a little restless lately and told me she’d like to go on a cruise. Unfortunately a cruise was just not in the…

  • We went to take a movie back today & decided to drive down a couple roads we haven’t ventured down before. We took the pugs with us and rolled down the windows so they could enjoy the mountain air while we enjoyed looking at all the gorgeous colored leaves. I drove CSP up to see…

  • We’re blessed with great weather on this trip. Blue skies during the day with nice breezes, chilly air at night.This trip is pretty laid back.  Lots of book reading and chilling out.  For some reason when we’re at the mountain house, Molly glues herself to CSP and forces him to hold her pretty much 24/7.…
