Chris and I went to Bald Head Island for our Honeymoon. It’s an island I’ve really grown to love over the years. I went first as a child when, at the time, a family friend had a house there. I then went again for a photography course in college. We went then in the middle of the winter. It still held my heart. So when we were looking at places to go on our honeymoon I couldn’t help but suggest it.
It’s a beautiful island off the coast of North Carolina. It makes me love my home state even more than I already did. Something about having the mountains in one direction and the beach in the other is truly beautiful.
I think it can go without saying that we had a lovely time on our honeymoon, surrounded by beautiful sights. I have a lot of personal pictures of us at well, but I thought I would just share the view with y’all, because it was certainly worth seeing.

Considering how messed up California is these days, I think what you say here is my favorite thing about California. When I was thinking about moving far away in 2005, I said this, and added that this is also true of your part of the country. (I was thinking Virginia specifically, because I’d spent time there and I know people there, but the same applies to North Carolina.)

Virginia is also a beautiful place! It’s wonderful to have the best of both worlds with only a four or five hour drive (and the east coast has warmer oceans which is nice)

Yes! I had never felt warm ocean water until my 2005 travels (and haven’t since).

I can’t imagine not wanting to swim in the ocean because it is so cold. It’s one of my favorite things about the beach… but we don’t have sea lions which is also pretty cool.
