It’ A Wrap!
Today is the last day here in Holden Beach, NC. Tomorrow we break camp and head north for home. We spent yesterday at a couple of beaches enjoying the beautiful sunny weather in the 70s looking for shells and sharks teeth. Rosie got to chase the ball on the beach one last time and the…

Lighthouse Heritage Preserve
Stacy decided that she wanted to see a lighthouse so off we went. It is a quarter mile walk in along a paved roadway that is closed to vehicle traffic. Some time ago it apparently became “the thing to do” to write whatever graffiti you wanted on not only the road, but the signs, fences…

Rainbow Row
It is said that back in the day sailors would have their houses all painted a different color so that they could find their way home to the right house after an evening in the pub. So, after a horse drawn tour of a part of the city we took a stroll and found Rainbow…
