Merry Christmas - Enjoy some Elf Shenanigans

Image
Elf shenanigans are a popular theme during the holiday season, especially with the rise of popular Elf on the Shelf tradition. These mischievous little elves often find themselves getting into all sorts of trouble around the house. They are known for pulling pranks, making messes, and causing general chaos wherever they go.

It's a fun way to keep the magic of Christmas alive and create lasting memories with loved ones. So, w...

Outer Banks NC Lighthouses Part 3

  Continuing our journey on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, we stopped at two other lighthouses and the first was Cape Hatteras Light Station. In 1999, Cape Hatteras lighthouse was moved from its original location to save it from going out to sea. For more information on the lighthouse click the link >>  Cape Hatteras National Seashore (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)   Currently the lighthouse is closed for restoration. The scaffolding is incredible to look at. Not only is there scaffolding outside but also inside the lighthouse.  Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Restoration Project - Cape Hatteras National Seashore (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) The Park Service is preserving two other buildings.  The buildings are opened to the public where you will discover the history of the lighthouse and how the lighthouse moved.   I found the process of moving the lighthouse fascinating.   It was worth the stop. On our way back from Cape Hatteras...
