Wake Forest is a northern suburb of Raleigh, the capital of NC. During this travel assignment, we lived about 25 minutes north of Wake Forest. We drove into town for groceries, bookstores, coffee, and other daily things. It's very charming and extremely dog friendly!

For our first trip we explored Beaufort, Morehead City, Harkers Island, Atlantic City, and Emerald Isle. This was going to be a short 48-hour trip because it was going to be our first time vacationing with the pups.
