Currituck Beach Light

Knox and I went to the Outer Banks on Monday for a couple of days! It was awesome. I was planning on staying a couple nights but I saw it was going to rain on Wednesday so I decided just to stay one night and cram everything I wanted to do in 2 days. There isn't a ton to do on the Outer Banks that we haven't already done already from our other trips. But there are a couple things that I knew I wanted to see on the Outer Banks before we left North Carolina. And this was one of them! 

This was the last lighthouse I needed to see in North Carolina! I have been to all the others and I knew I wanted to check this one off my list as well. But it is kind of far out of the way. It is the most north eastern part of North Carolina and just a mile or so past the lighthouse the road just ends and turns into beach. It's pretty awesome. Anyways, this lighthouse wasn't open for viewing or climbing on the day I went. But I did climb the short wooden fence to get closer and get some better photos haha. 

After getting a closer look at the lighthouse. Knox and I went to the beach which was right across the street from the lighthouse entrance. And I got some great shots of the lighthouse from the beach. We walked around the beach and I let Knox run and run and run. He loved it! I loved it. I collected so many shells but more on the beach later!

Tank Top: Old Navy 

Beanie and braids

I wore this outfit when Clark and I went to dinner this past weekend. Clark is actually gone for a bit because they are going some training at another base. So we knew we wanted to go out and have a nice dinner before he was gone for a while. Looking at these photos now I am realizing that I look kind of silly wearing a short dress and sandals with a beanie but this day was about 70 degrees so it was rather warm and I am wearing the beanie because I didn't want to have to mess with my bangs (as usual.) I need to work on styling them, now that they are longer haha. But I had fun with this outfit and hair style and figured I would just wear what I wanted when I wanted and all was going to be okay in the world. 

As Albert Eisten said “Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.”  

I have know idea if he actually said this but I saw it on goodreads.com and thought it might be true and even if he didn't say it, I like the quote.
