Sandy Run Park

Sandy Run Park

Sandy Run Park is one of my top 5 favorite things to do in the OBX. A short, stroller friendly boardwalk trail takes you in a loop around the pond. The BEST part is the turtles though. Hundreds of them! They are used to people feeding them so they swim as quick as their little […]

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

What kind of mental picture do you get when you think of Philadelphia? Big cities are such a juxtaposition between beauty and filth in my personal opinion. Everywhere you look there are piles of trash, graffiti, and dilapidated buildings. Philly has more than its' fair share of those things BUT it … [Read More...]
