Bald Head Babymoon

This past weekend Jimmy and I took a mini getaway on beautiful Bald Head Island. It's crazy to think that we've lived here for over three years and we had never been to this little gem. Check out this map - it's in the lower middle of the map, just below us on the Atlantic.



To follow are some of our pictures. A quick recap - we stayed in the adorable B&B, Marsh Harbour Inn. I had a wonderful mommy-to-be massage at a spa on the island. There are no cars allowed anywhere, so you get a golf cart with your room. The lack of cars and the wealth on this island make it so pristine and picturesque. A big part of the attraction, for me, is the variety of landscape - West, South and East facing beaches, Outerbanks-like tranquility, pretty golf course and island style forests. I took about 100 pictures of all the pretty houses, but I'll spare you and only share a handful.
