In June my Husband and kids and myself are going to the Outer Banks in NC with his family. We're all renting a big house. It should be fun, but I'll be honest, I wish I was going out west again. The furthest south I've ever been is Pittsburgh, no kidding. I don't do heat, I don't like Alligators or bugs or humidity. I also like to go to the beach when it isn't hot and I can sit on the beach with not a lot of people and listen to the waves. I don't swim in the ocean I avoid swimming in lake Erie, if I can. My kids like the beach, and I will go in the water with them.
I know I sound like a curmudgeon, but I much prefer a forest to a beach. I like to hike. I like big rocks and mountains. The ocean is were the sharks live, I don't like invading their space. My Mother in law told me that we will be down the road from a nature preserve, which will be wonderful and I will have a nice time. I make the best of things. We also will stop in Washington DC on the way home since we will be passing through. That will be cool. Also spending time with family is great. I just pray there aren't any alligators, I will freak, I know it
