What a PERFECT day!
Stop number 1: Beaufort, NC. Pronounced "Bo-fort" by natives, this port town is the third oldest town in North Carolina (1709). It has a cute, quaint, historic downtown with lots of shops and restaurants and you can see boats coming in and out of the harbor -- great place to spend the morning.
This bar looks like it would be a great hangout... Roadtrip, anyone?
Stop number 2: Emerald Isle, NC. About a 30 minute drive from Beaufort, Emerald Isle is your standard beach community/family vacation spot. If you've ever been to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Emerald Isle is just like it. Most of the homes are in private communities and are rentals for vacationers during the summer. It took me awhile to find a public access point to the beach with parking, since most of the streets don't allow public parking to ensure privacy for those in the neighborhood/community. After some searching, I finally found a spot and camped out for the afternoon!
The water's still a bit cold... eek!
Great day to fly a kite. :)
It's official - when I FINALLY become a grown-up and need to look for a job, it HAS to be near the coast... Just somethin' about that salty air...

It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should.
Headed east to the crystal coast for the day! Can't wait to feel the sand beneath my toes.

Today I went to a continuing ed class entitled "Building Blocks in Prosthetics." Since I haven't had a prostheses course yet, it was really informative! I learned all about the different types of prosthetic limbs that are available -- it was amazing to look at the history a bit and see how far prostheses have come... from wooden peg legs to $50,000 computerized legs! In particular, the technology behind making the prostheses has come along away. It used to be that in order to make a prosthetic limb, a mold of the residual limb had to be taken which is a long, tedious and often inconsistent process. Now, they use a CAD/CAM scanning system. Basically, a laser scans the residual limb and when connected to a computer with the proper software, gathers the information (measurements etc) necessary to help create the prosthesis. Absolutely awesome.

Came across this the other day... I want to make a more conscious effort to reduce my carbon footprint - starting now.
