That’s right – my brother and sister-in-law are following their dreams and living at the beach! It’s so incredible and I’m so happy for them. They saved, stuck with it through setbacks, swallowed their pride and landed same-day job offers for each of them at The Outer Banks Hospital. They moved at the end of March and with me knowing I was going to be starting a new job mid-April, I had to get out there to visit them and see their new place the first few days of April. They have an adorable little house in downtown Manteo on Roanoke Island. They can walk to shops, restaurants, grocery stores, movie theatre, barber shop, waterfront, marina, lighthouse, etc. We had such a blast during my visit and I’m already looking forward to my next trip. Here are some photos.

Here are some interior photos of their cute house. Their yard is also nice with lovely plants: forsythia, camellia, azalea, peach tree to name just a few!

We went up to Duck and Corolla one day to see the Currituck Lighthouse, have lunch and do some shopping.

We drove across Oregon Inlet on the Bonner Bridge and I was pretty surprised to see them building what looks like a brand new bridge. Note the cranes in the photo.

We also took the pups to the beach, complete with a ramp so LillieBelle can get in the back of the jeep.

My sandy-faced, sandy-pawed, beach and water-loving pup. The best! <3

These next two photos are to show how much Stella adores her aunt and uncle. And I think they like her a lot, too. 😉
