We picked the right name for Crew since he loves being on the water and anything to do with boats. 💦 This was the first year he was old enough for sailing camp with East Coast Sailing, and he absolutely loved it! Hardy and his crew taught the kids the basics and made it super [...]
Summer on the Outer Banks can sometimes give me anxiety...when it comes to trying to choose what awesome thing to do on a sunny day. 😉 Beach, H2OBX waterpark, Pool, Boat, Island Hopping...Everything is a good option.
