I read that Rogallo Kite Festival is happening now but also ends today.🪁 Where? ⏭️ Jockey's Ridge State Park In Nags Head, NC (#OuterBanks). So beautiful! Oh, the memories we made. Fun times!!! I've posted other reels about it before. _________________ Tap on my bio link for a full itinerary of our first trip to the Outer Banks that includes this festival. Scroll to the bottom of that blog post & watch full videos (vlogs). I also wrote a news article about it that includes a chance meeting with Val Deale, one of the founders of Rogallo Kite Festival. Linked above! I "interviewed" him, too (a video). However, I'm unsure if that's still on the news site. . . . #RogalloKiteFestival #OBX #NCFestivals #NagsHead #OBXLife #momsinmedia #travel Creator #blacktravelwriter #blacktravel #blackadventureblogger #visitnc #kiteflying #flyingkites

Change your mind. That's your right.😘 Step away. Change direction. These photos were taken almost 2 years ago. A very "busy & blessed" time, but also very stressful. A LOT was happening off-camera. I decided to walk away from EVERYTHING that was no longer enjoyable or beneficial. The size of an opportunity/experience will *never* be more valuable than my peace & happiness. So yes... walk away if that's what you need to do... or do it differently. I did & it's the best decision I've ever made. Now, I'm ready & buckled in for a new version of the same ride. Let's go❣️ . . . #startover #adoover #pivotpoint #adventuringfamily #NCwriter #NCblogger #blacktravelwriter #sharethejourney #rememberwhoyouare #wednesdaynight #itsyourright #changeyourmind

NYC architecture & skylines! 🤩 I *clearly* didn't capture a lot of it, but I have more pics than I realized. That just means another trip, and next time, I'll be way more intentional! Fun fact... I'm a borderline architecture snob. Well, probably not, but I definitely could be. 😆 . . . #architecturelover #architecturepics #nycarchitecture #architecturesnob #nycskylines #visitny #nycviews #travelwriter #blackadventurista #blacktravel #familytrip❤️

An aquarium & lights Festival in the same place! 😎 (Concord, NC) Sea Life at Concord Mills --> open daily Tianyu Lights Festival --> runs until June 22nd. (Research days, times, prices, etc) It's a small aquarium, but there's sufficient marine life & interactive activities for kids/tweens. The lights festival has acrobatics, lantern displays, & other exhibits. We saw the colorful setup on the property. Earlier this year, we took my youngest to the mall to reunite with a school friend who moved a few years ago. They lived it up shopping, eating, laughing, taking photos, & yes, more shopping!😍 Perfect outing for weekends & summer break. @sealifeconcord @tianyulightscharlotte . . . #concordmills #concordmillsmall #sealifeconcord #tianyulightsfestival #summerbreakideas #tweenactivities #weekendactivitiesforkids #visitnc #trianglenc #piedmonttriad #cabarruscounty #blacktravelwriter #blackadventureblogger

Slow Sunday mornings. That's always the goal. Along with a bigger cup of coffee & a view. I'm not in Gold Hill today, but looking back at photos makes me appreciate spending time there even more. So much beauty (and history!) @historicgoldhill It was a "gold mining-themed" day, seeing that we visited right after exploring Reed Gold Mine. (Two posts back😉) Shops were closed & very few people were out, but it was time well spent. Even the scenic country drive getting there felt medicinal! (Thanks @markkemp 😊) Now ... back to planning for the start of summer break, a sh!t ton of adventures, & dodging pink eye that has hit my home for the first time.😖 Happy Sunday, loves❣️ . . . #HistoricGoldHill #GoldHillNC #historicplaces #visitnc #touringnc #RowanCounty #blackadventurista #weoutside #FunAdventureFamily #adventuringfamily #viewsofnature #naturephotog #Sundaysbelike #pinkeye

Oh, so you love Korean food, too??? Great! Come on... dine with my crew at this new-to-us spot in High Point. The One Korean BBQ + Bar! ( @theonekbbq ) We give the atmosphere, service, & food a bold thumbs up. And this isn't sponsored, btw. Just a "caring & sharing" post so you can try something new-to-you.😘 What we ate: - #Tteokbokki - #Bulgogi - #GrilledPorkBelly - Seasoned #BeanSprouts - #Kimchi . . . #koreanfood #asianheritagemonth #koreanbbqbar #foodadventures #restauranttour #eatherenow #ncfoodporn #ncrestaurants #visithighpoint #visitnc #travelwriter #adventurewriter #dinneridea

Imagine... You're a child again, fishing with your siblings, when you find a heavy, shiny rock. It's unique, so you HAVE TO take it home to show your dad. Of course, there's more to the story, but the rock just ends up as a doorstop for years until it's sold for $3.50. Surprisingly, that *gold nugget* was really worth around $3600!🤯 This is a *small bit* of Reed Gold Mine's history dating back to 1799. (Midland, NC) I previously mentioned this place in a news article, but only recently visited with my crew. We enjoyed exploring the mine, panning for gold, & walking the hiking trails.
