Our First Road Trip: Outer Banks Edition

So Marcus and I just got back from our first real trip together - a weekend at the Outer Banks! We found this tiny rental house that was basically falling apart but hey, we’re broke college students so it was perfect.

Our First Road Trip: Outer Banks Edition

The drive down was… an adventure. Marcus insisted he knew a “shortcut” that added an hour to our trip and involved getting lost in some sketchy gas station parking lot where I’m pretty sure we almost got murdered. But we made it! And then he immediately forgot to put on sunscreen because he’s an idiot and now he looks like a very attractive lobster.

We spent the whole weekend eating way too much seafood (shrimp and grits for breakfast? Don’t mind if we do) and just… talking. Like really talking. About everything and nothing and I don’t know, it just felt so easy? He makes me laugh until my stomach hurts and he listens when I ramble about nursing school stress and okay fine I think I might be falling for this weirdo.

Don’t tell him I said that though. His ego is big enough already.
