road trip: take III

we woke up in the stinky motel and got a move on! first thing saturday morning i visited my Target stores. one way or another we were lost and ended up driving for almost an hour trying to find the store. it ended up that we were only 5 minutes away from the store to begin with... it allowed for some fun laughs and great directions from a variety of locals. :)

amy's old roommate, kevin, happened to be in virginia with his girlfriend, visiting some friends the same time we were there. we made a point to meet up with them and did so at virginia beach. we had a great time hanging out with them and learned all about sand crabs! it was fun to see kevin again and spend some time with them.

virginia beach, VA - lots of cabanas

after that we made our way to north carolina - the outer banks. what a BEAUTIFUL place. it took a few hours to make it into the cape area, but the houses were so fun to look at along our drive. we sat in traffic for a good 2 1/2 hours and the sun was beating in the passenger side. i put my cowboy hat on my shoulder to shield it (or so i tried).

covered from the sun... but hot!

the decks go all the way to the roof so they can view the ocean

the following picture is one of my favorite photos of the whole trip! i saw this house as we were on the way to our campsite. it was so unique and beautiful!
