Going Back To North Carolina
“She walked on, comforted by the surf, by the one perpetual moment of beach-time, the now-and-always of it.” — William Gibson
I can hardly contain myself. I can’t believe it. I’ve actually won a stay in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina! Yes, I will be returning to my happy place. The Ocean. North Carolina.
I’ve won a two night weekend stay at Ocean Isle Inn thanks to Things Moms Like (@thingsmomslike) and Ocean Isle Inn (@oceanisleinn):
Ocean Isle Beach is one of those FABULOUS North Carolina beaches that is near the really tourist-y towns, but not right in the middle of the party. It’s in close proximity to historic Wilmington, Sunset Beach, Myrtle and North Myrtle Beach, but it’s a getaway all on its own. The great thing is that if you are on the East Coast, this is most likely a “one-tank” destination for you!!!
If you want things to do with your kids, there’s turtle watching, the Museum of Coastal Carolina, Old Baldy (the world’s OLDEST remaining lighthouse), Orton Plantation, The NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher (THIS IS AWESOME!), the USS NC Battleship Memorial and the bright lights, water parks, music theaters, shopping, amusement park rides in Myrtle Beach!
Ocean Isle Beach, NC is a beautiful destination whether you are looking for a unique place to tie the knot, celebrate an anniversary or have a nice, relaxing family vacation!
Ocean Isle Inn is a great place to stay while you’re in Ocean Isle Beach! It has been awarded the Gold Star of Excellence Award from the Myrtle Beach Area Hospitality Association and prides itself on its richly decorated rooms, reminiscent of a South Pacific getaway! Each room is decorated with Polynesian decor featuring hand-made teak furniture, floors of beautiful Spanish tile and unique artwork.
Amenities at Ocean Isle Inn include oceanfront pool and sundecks, indoor heated pool and attached spa, deluxe Continental breakfast, meeting facilities, wireless internet (YAY), in-room fridge and wet bar, in-room coffee service and private oceanfront balconies.
Are you ready for your Ocean Isle Beach vacation? I know that I am! Ocean Isle Inn ROCKS!
The only problem now is getting there! Having just returned to work after being unemployed for a year (gotta LOVE the mortgage industry), I’m not sure how we’re going to pull off the airfare. So, if you happen to come across any contests/giveaways for airline tickets, please let me know! 
Thanks for stopping by!
Congrats on winning another great contest!!! I’m just getting back from the coast of NC and now you’re jetting off there!
When I fly home I usually use Southwest b/c they fly out of Midway and into Norfolk really cheap. Try tracking their sales and offers, I’ve gotten $99 flights home before!
Thank you! That’s right, your parents have a place there, right? I figured I could get the $99 flight but times 4 that’s $400. I don’t have all the details yet anyway. I still can’t wait!
Hi I’m new here, found this blog from Mom Bloggers Club. ^_^ I was reading through your blog and enjoyed every bit of it!
