In the summer of 2019, my family and I took a trip to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We decided to go by car, so I knew it would be a long drive. I ended up being correct. The drive took over 12 hours, so I had to sleep on the way there. Shortly after I woke up, we had arrived in North Carolina. It wasn’t too much later until we arrived in the Outer Banks. After arriving, we immediately went to the beach house we had rented for the trip. It was a large white house with four floors. After we got all of our belongings situated, we noticed the house had a phenomenal view of the beach below. When I saw this, I was instantly excited to get down to the beach, and go for a swim.
After getting our swimming gear, we walked down a flight of concrete stairs to finally reach the sand. It was a great feeling to finally be at the beach, even though my feet were burning. As soon as we got our towels and umbrellas placed securely on the sand, I sprinted towards the water, ready to jump right in. As the first drops hit my feet, I could tell this would be a great day. As I got further into the water, I was no longer hot, and was actually a bit cold. After swimming with my family for a couple of hours, we had to return to the beach house for dinner. We had Domino’s Pizza, and went to sleep shortly after.
The next day, we woke up fairly early so we could have as much fun as possible. For breakfast we decided to go to a donut store called Duck Donuts. The donuts were delicious and very filling for the long day we had ahead of us. After we finished eating, we prepared to go to the beach for the second, and last time of the trip. Just like the previous day, we walked down the stairs and began to swim. After we finished swimming, we decided to go to a store to buy a souvenir before our long journey home. We pulled into the shop, and I almost instantly discovered what I wanted to buy. I got a pair of shark teeth in a bottle. After we finished purchasing out souvenirs, we finally began the drive back home.
