In my adult years I was so blessed to be able to travel with my Mom & Dad from time to time. One trip I have been remembering lately is our trip to Washington, DC in 2007. We were going to the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Assembly in DC to work with Samaritan Ministry (an HIV/AIDS ministry. We decided to drive up to Washington by way of the Outer Banks of NC. It was a wonderful trip and I have wonderful memories and a few photos.

We spent the first night in Wilmington, NC, had breakfast with an old family friend and then made a bee line to catch the ferry to Ocracoke. Below is a picture of my Momma enjoying the ferry ride from the backseat of her Maxima. We spent one night on Ocracoke at The Pony Inn (I think). As an adult I paid my own way so I got to have my own room at the hotels and I know that made the trip more enjoyable for us all....but we loved the time we spent.

We took our time driving - stopping along the way - taking pictures, looking at the wild ponies, eating seafood - whatever we wanted to do. It was so relaxing and wonderful. We stopped by all the lighthouses too - I guess my favorite is the Hatteras Lighthouse with its wonderful history and the great story of how it was moved.

I have such great memories from that trip.
I love you Momma and I miss you so much!
