I started the four hour trip to Outer Banks with some schoolwork for my history class.

I sat outside on the balcony doing my homework on a peaceful morning while the sun is shining.

The destination begins to get closer as I take a break from school work and look out the window to see the water coming into view.

I enjoyed the soft breeze with the windows down as we continued the drive to North Carolina

A bright afternoon and great weather greets me as we arrive at Outer Banks.

I took a walk in the evening as the time went by and the sun began to set.

I took time to sit out and enjoy the beach while also spending quality time with family.

Even though the sun has set, the waves can still be heard on the house balcony.

Later in the night, I pulled out my computer and was able to get some work done before heading to bed.

I read to myself in the early morning as I watched the sunrise and enjoyed the quietness.

The sun continues to rise as more people wake up and join the morning.
