Lots to love about the Outer Banks
On a recent trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, my first stop was at the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills. For geographical reference, the Outer Banks is a chain of barrier islands along the coastline of the state. It boasts 100 plus miles of wide-open shoreline, charming villages and towns and plenty of historical attractions.

Immerse yourself in the soul-stirring landscape of Patagonia
I had promised myself I wouldn’t get up on another horse – ever – as past horseback riding experiences have shown me that horses and I don’t get along. Typically, I would be told I would be riding a gentle mare only to have that “gentle” mare persistently nip at another horse, constantly munch on the grassy smorgasbord, balk at crossing a shallow stream, then turn around and head the other way, and my favorite, unexpectedly take off at a speedy trot, leaving the rest of the group (and almost me, too!) in the dust.
