Expecting the worst but hoping for the best, we did pretty well. We left early in the morning once she awoke. It was Mother's Day, so when I got up with Annabelle, the hubby had already walked the dog and bought us breakfast before our drive. We were probably 1-1.5 hrs in when Annabelle finally fell asleep for her nap. She slept for almost 2 hours which is huge and was up for the last hour. I nursed her, fed her snacks, had toys for her, and luckily also had a portable DVD player. The combo of all those things helped us survive.
When we arrived, I had the Hubby drop us off at the community playground. He couldn't drive in and park bc we didn't have the code, but that was ok bc Annabelle and I just walked to it. This also helped as she was near her breaking point. Having time to swing and play on the playground made her very happy.
After we unpacked, we went to go eat. We stopped at Sundog Bar and Grill!
I had the most amazing Oyster Po' Boy ... Seriously, of all the Po' boys I have eaten... From LA, New Orleans, and Florida... This Po' Boy was hands down theeeee best I've ever eaten!
Here's a picture of the house we stayed at. It's on Buck island in the northern part of OBX. The house is named "green dolphin"
This is the playground Annabelle got to frequent ... So perfect for a toddler her age!
And a few photos of us to celebrate mother's day!
There was so much space to run around, Annabelle actually cut her lip on her new incisor several times... Po' baby's first cut lip!

Our first day was so much fun and we hadn't even been to the pool or beach yet!!!
