The North Carolina roads are truly this gorgeous. Honestly, I missed a million moment shots. But I got a few really key ones too. Simple and breathtaking all at once.
The Tigers were really troopers of travelers today. 
We didn't stop until we reached our destination. That was not planned. (You know if we had planned it, it wouldn't have happened. :) Carolina Mama settled in to right on the dashboard - just for good measure. By this point, we were far enough out of town that I fit right in. :) 
We're here - Ocean Isle Inn is everything we hoped it would be. 
The staff is so welcoming and warm. The property is wonderful and well kept. The amenities are just what this family was looking for in a beach getaway. 
Great beach front property, Outdoor Pool, Indoor Heated Pool, Spa Hot Tub, Breakfast in the am, perfect views of just the ocean. No thank you high rises.
Then Mountain Man and the Tigers unloaded everything. Here they are with the ocean in the backdrop. Heavenly. 
Then I turned around and saw this... Two Little Monkies jumping on the beds... these rooms are lovely. Generous. Clean and stocked with everything like shampoo, soaps, tissues, this really good decaf coffee I am sipping right now. And the bathroom is spacious! Did you hear that! Really it is and is a pretty sunflower yellow color. 
It was off to lunch, a gift shop and a Lowes' Food run. The Blackened Mahi Mahi was divine. 
After an unexpected "injury" in which this boogie boarder was thankful as we all were that he was okay... 
Mountain Man took charge of our beach care.... 
An after dinner walk/run on the beach, finding sea shells .. 
Then we walked back to this the site of a Wedding this weekend.
