A Quiet Paradise - My Family Travels
100_4926

       What makes a great trip?  Is it the food, the fun, or the local attractions?  For me it is the whole experience.  Getting to visit new places and learning about the area is very exciting to me, so when I learned that my fanily and I would be traveling to Corolla, NC I was thrilled.  Corolla is a quiet beach on the coast of North Carolina and for animal lovers, it is the place to be because not only is it a beach, but it is home to some animals that most people have never seen, wild horses!  These horses are direct descendants of Spanish mustangs and are very scarce today.

       Around the island there are several companies that offer wild horse tours on the beach however they charge around 50 dollars per person.  My family and I were lucky enough to see these beautiful animals everyday on the beach for free!  The dunes that the horses walk on were once filled with bombs.  Most of them have been removed but local officials are not sure if any remain, so they advise tourists  not to walk on them.  I learned to appreciate animals because while watching the horses it is tempting to move closer and snap pictures, but for their safety as well as mine, it is best to stay at least 50 feet away.  A popular attraction for visitors is Timbuck 2.  This is a recreation area with shops, food and various sporting such as go-carts and putt-putt golf, which kids love.  While I was there I was able to sample some great local seafood at a new restaurant called Uncle Ikes, which is only one of many great restaurants.

        From this trip I learned a lot.  I learned to take in nature and my surroundings because it is filled with history.  A place that may seem unimportant or insignificant to many can provide multiple opportunities to truly experience a local culture.  Corolla offers a beach atmosphere that is quaint and seems unspoiled by commercialism. 

         This trip meant a lot to me.  One can trulyl appreciate the history, the local flavors and the nostalgia of places like Corolla.  To have the opportunity to visit new places and learn different ways of life is very important to me and I would encourage anyone who loves the beach and loves animals to take a trip to Corolla, North Carolina.

    Yes, recent trends suggest that Americans are regaining confidence in vacations and travel. As travel restrictions ease and vaccination rates increase, many Americans are showing a greater willingness to travel and explore destinations again. However, it’s important to stay updated on travel advisories and safety measures to ensure a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.

    Reading Fran Falkin’s insights took me back to my first trip with Whiskers, my feline companion. The chaos of ensuring he was comfortable amidst the hustle of the airport was a lesson in patience. Had I come across these invaluable tips earlier, our journey would’ve been as smooth as a calm sea.

    I read your article on the Sheep of Sun Valley and I found it very fascinating and enjoyable. You have given a detailed and colorful account of your experience at the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, which celebrates the history and culture of sheepherding in Idaho. I think your article is a great way to introduce this unique and fun event to other travelers and families who are looking for a different and memorable adventure.
