#128 - OBX take 2

Spent the day at the beach - breakfast looking at the ocean, Wright Brothers Memorial, bought some local seafood from Greybeard's in Wanchese, nap time with friends (hahaha we all passed out on the couches), margarita and beach time, lovely sunset in Kitty Hawk, delicious dinner cooked by Sarah and Jared, SNL with Betty White. Great day!

Outer Banks trip this past weekend! Awesome times. And Friday I finally got to go to the Outer Banks Brew Station that I've been wanting to go to for a while. Powered by a windmill and local food/beer + good friends = awesome times. Spent the rest of the night at a dive bar in Kitty Hawk and catching up with Sarah.

This lemongrass beer was delicious!

#123-#126

Honestly, all my pictures for the week are on the work camera from field trips every day. I'll post them later.

**Ok here they are - finally getting around to it.

So this was the week of awesome field trip stuff - especially in the lab.

#123 - Male Skilletfish

Guarding his eggs inside of an oyster shell. Very cool to see.

#124 - Eggs

Then, day 2 we used the same habitat cage, same shells, and found THIS! Skilletfish eggs under the microscope look awesome. Those are the eyes! Could even see the heart beating.

#125 - Third day, new habitat cage - awesome oyster flat worm. A rarity and so cool to see.

#126 - Field shot

Trying to finish up some species for our field guide - a little algae shot!

My mom and I participated in Paddle the Border in the Dismal Swamp this past weekend. Super fun! And so many kayaks. We paddle from NC about 7.5 miles into VA with about 250 other kayakers.

This is a place holder until one of our teachers sends me the pictures from the field trip last week. It was so awesome! Can't wait to share.

Friday night went out to the Taphouse to enjoy some outside time. Love that place. And then took a little stroll through CW and enjoyed their garden set ups.
