Making the Most of Your Beach Vacation


If you're looking for a destination that offers the perfect combination of relaxation and fun, consider planning a visit to the beaches of North Carolina.

While you're there, make sure you follow these tips to make the most of your time in this amazing area.

Be Smart About Sun Safety
While the summers in North Carolina can certainly be hot, you might find the weather to be more temperate during the spring and fall. Even if it's not a scorcher, make sure you're taking the proper steps to protect yourself from overexposure to the sun. Otherwise, you could be dealing with sunburns, dehydration and even heat stroke, all of which can put a damper on your vacation.


Try Visiting the Beach at Night
Most people enjoy visiting the beaches during the day. However, you can enjoy fewer crowds, more pleasant weather and some gorgeous views when you venture out in the evening. A sunset picnic or evening stroll is a great way to relax and unwind while enjoying the show as the sky transitions from the vibrant hues of dusk to a starlit night.

Take Time to Enjoy Local Cuisine
Whether you're looking for delivery, takeout or the chance to dine at a restaurant, North Carolina beaches have hundreds of unique and local options that you can't find anywhere else. If you're a seafood lover, you should definitely take advantage of the fresh and tasty fare you'll find so close to the ocean. There are also numerous restaurants that have become famous for other types of cuisine, from pizza and donuts to Caribbean-inspired dishes.


Explore the Numerous Historical Treasures
While the beaches are breathtaking, there are several other interesting and beautiful places to visit when you're in the area. The Wright Brothers National Memorial is located where the famous sibling duo piloted the first flight in a powered aircraft. Several lighthouses are also within driving distance, including the famous Cape Hatteras lighthouse. You can also explore the shipwreck of the USS Huron. Many history buffs enjoy stopping by Fort Raleigh, the mysterious settlement that eventually became known as The Lost Colony.

North Carolina beaches truly do have something for everyone, no matter what your age or interests. Don't forget to venture out and enjoy everything this incredible area has to offer.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
