Jacksonville, North Carolina

I decided to do some exploring today since I am very fragile and did not want to get trampled on in a store being that it is Black Friday and all here in the states. I thought the first logical place to visit would be the beach since I am in Eastern North Carolina.

The sun seemed to be rising as we drove so we were worried we would miss the main event! This is what it looked like when we arrived.

It was a very chilly when we arrived but it was very much worth it once the sun started to rise over the water! Here’s another shot from when we were waiting…

And waiting…

Finally it began to peek over the clouds! Absolutely gorgeous!

We also took some time to look on the beach and found some creatures washed ashore:

very large horseshoe crab.

The next stop was a local park that my host would frequent as a child that happens to be next to an inlet.

Here are a few shots from there:

I promise I didn't look directly into the sun, mom!

We also visited another area, however that one requires a blog of it’s own that will post tomorrow. What sights did you get to see this week? I’d love to see them! Tweet me and I’ll RT!
