Bald Head Island

I've been on Bald Head Island since Tuesday which is an island off the coast of Wilmington. You take a ferry to get here which is about 20 minutes and you arrive in this adorable alternate universe. There are no cars over here except for construction vehicles and everyone gets around on golf carts. The mile is very narrow and only about 2 miles long. There is a great grocery store and a few clothing shops. The "roads" are lined with tall trees and the house we are at is nestled in the woods. The beach is not crowded at all and is so beautiful. It has been HOT has heck but the water is still refreshing.

The island is very dog friendly so Hailey is having the time of her life. She is allowed to roam off leash on the beach during the day (but not at night so the turtles can lay their eggs-- Whitney there are soooo is an entire turtle conservatory!). She rides along with us on the golf cart. She still won't go swimming but loves getting dunked by her daddy and then digging down into the sand to the cool wet sand.

It is a great place to be before heading down to Ecuador. I don't think it has really hit me yet that I'm leaving in a week! I'm coming home Tuesday and like Jess will be frantically packing. I'm off to cart around the island. I'll post a flickr link with pictures!
