Summer couldn’t get here fast enough, so my friends and I decided to start a little early. Traveling in North Carolina is a summer tradition for us and it’s always a challenge to pick a destination. We have mountains, we have metropolitan areas with some of the finest fare the U.S. has to offer, and we have a plethora of beaches.
We decided to pick a historic site this time around. Not only is Bodie Island stately and serene, it’s quite picturesque as well.
I’ve never seen a light house before and I wasn’t prepared for the statuesque beauty that is Bodie Island Light House.
While the outside is amazing, the inside is just as breath taking.
The hike on the way up, while a bit of a challenge was captivating. The view once at the top was well worth the hike.

The air feels different at the top. It’s softer and quieter. 171 years of beauty and history, and I got to mark this moment in my memory Rolodex.
I know they tell you not to look down if you’re afraid of heights, but who would want to miss this view?

I’ll be traveling more this year and planting my heels on new ground…or tile (you’ve got to get those blogger shots LOL). I hope you all will follow along. See more of my adventure to Bodie Island on my highlighted instastory, Travel: NC.
I love you all and as always sending lots of moxie your way,
