I love signs and themed posts, so here’s a bunch of motel signs.

Most are older pics Of the top of my head, these were taken in Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. And I’ve only stayed in one of them.

Seeing the Wild Horses

Over Memorial Day, I took a day trip to Corolla, North Carolina. No destination really in mind, that’s just where I ended up.

UntitledI took a Wild Horse Tour through Corolla Outback Adventures, which had just enough seats available. We got in the back of a 4-door truck into a covered area with benches and took off. You drive down the main beach area to Carova Beach, NC, which is all sand.

This was my favorite moment of the tour, and I wish I had been able to get a nice wide shot of this, but I was focused on getting the individual horses…
We were heading back to the main beach area, and this was the conversation I was having with God in my head: “God, can I see another wild horse? I mean, I know I’ve already gotten to see a bunch. And I know I shouldn’t feel stupid for asking you for more, because you delight in bringing us joy and dong nice things, but I feel ridiculous and selfish asking, since I am grateful that we saw so many already…” And so on. Oh, I also wanted to take a pic with my phone for instagram. So that was my inner dialogue as the truck drove along toward the beach.

We came around the corner of a dune to see six horses. And I just started laughing.

Anyone else ever done a Wild Horse tour? How was it?

edenton, north carolina

The architecture in Edenton is beautiful (and varied). The waterfront main street is very fun and has some great shops and restaurants. I really have not done Edenton justice with these posts, but if I tried there would be SO many pictures.
