School- Day Two

Yesterday my kids started school. And it was a weird day. I was all out of sorts in a million and one ways. Eva has been feeling crappy the last two days…. it was just a long emotional day.

Today is set to be equally challenging. Eva woke up at 4am looking around the house for Blake and fell down the stairs headed to the third floor. She has never done that. Plus she has a well check today to get shots. Not gonna be fun.

Soooo…. instead of dwelling on that- let’s take a look at Bald Head Island. When we were at Kure Beach Austin convinced us to to the ferry on over to Bald Head. We parked the car and jumped on the the boat.

The ferry ride was fun- we stood at the front and got splashed a lot.

If you have never been to Bald Head you need to go

I have never been anywhere quite like it

I loved that there were no cars on the island. When you get to the ferry they take all your luggage, bikes, whatever you are taking over for your stay (be it a day, a week, or the summer) and then they deliver it to your house on the island.

We knew there was a good chance of rain. We went anyway.

We rented a 6 passenger golf cart and off we went to explore.

I love this blurry pic

And then the sky got a little dark

And it got a little windy

We decided we needed to find some shelter before the sky opened up

We didn’t quite make it

There are so many cool houses on Bald Head- I would even take this little carriage house (above) or this cool house below

Our neighbors have a house there that we will for sure be renting next summer

And then the sky cleared up

More cool houses

There is a magazine (that you can view online) with amazing pics of the island and information about it here.

Years ago when we lived in Ohio I sent Andy this video. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon it but I said, “I want to go there!!”
