– Claire Insley Holmes
Nov 14, 2013 While we were upstate Claire wanted to visit my alma mater. I graduated CIA in 2008 with an AOS in Culinary Arts. I won’t get into my whole culinary background here. But if you are interested in a resume feel free to send me an email. I gave Claire and my father […]
Nov 13-17 Michael here, our last day of work at Roadside was Nov. 11th. My Father takes a quick trip up to New York at least a few times a year to see family and friends. He invited us to hop in his car since we had just finished work. We thought it’d be a […]
Ok so I guess this might be one of my first controversial kind of rant posts. I’ve tried to sprinkle some of my personal thoughts into posts in the past. We are almost ready to hit the road again and a lot has come to mind. Especially when seeing the links posted below… The first […]
October and November here on the Outer Banks is most locals favorite time of the year. The Millions of tourists thin out. Luckily we scored an Indian Summer as well. Not up until a couple weeks ago the water temperature was in the 70s. We spent the past 2 months still working full time. Claire […]
We took a trip to Wintergreen and stayed at the Dwyer’s cabin, family friends of Claire’s parents. The weather was just right at the end of the summer. We went hiking in the mountains up streams and waterfalls, visited family friends, and hung out at the resort. Claire’s mother Laura used to live in Waynesboro, […]
September 27, 2013 My mother suggested that we take a trip to Knott’s Island in the Currituck Sound, about an hour North of us in Kitty Hawk; known for duck hunting, fishing, orchards, vineyards, and farms. We missed the ferry to the island so we took the long way around, over the marshland bridge, came […]
During August and September Claire and I were working full time at RoadSide and part time at Art’s Place, while living at Claire’s Grandmother Jane’s cottage in Nags Head. A classic cedar shake sided beach box from the 50’s or 60’s standing in sand on stilts, surrounded by live oaks. There is a big front porch […]
9/11/2013 Claire’s younger brother Will and myself took a drive down to Pea Island. His girlfriend Patterson came along and took most of these photos. We decided to have a 9′ Longboard session. Driving south down to Pea Island from Kitty Hawk can always be a gamble when it comes to the surf. “In town” […]
July and August – Plenty of surf. La Sancha just got new brakes, rotors, and tires! Claire got a new laptop! After a few splurges we have paid off our debts and have finally started stashing money for our return trip to Guaymas. Claire’s Uncle Bud took us out for a quick day sail in […]
Month of June til now – we are sort of settled in here now on the outer banks. It’s a pretty small area but we’re still running into people that we haven’t seen in quite a few years. Everyone is pretty shocked when they hear about what we’ve been up to with our travels on […]
