I'll be flying back to NC from October 17th until October 27th for a much needed respite. I rented out a beachhouse on Bald Head Island, so hopefully I can wrangle some NC friends to hang out for a weekend. I also timed this year's fall trip back home to coincide with the NC State Fair! Time to get some corn on the cob, smothered in butter, with cayenne pepper... yum.

(To be honest, I prefer NC beaches in the fall/wintertime over Californian beaches ... something about the Atlantic makes it more suitable).
