As I mentioned previously, one of the activities we like to do as a family is visit North Carolina State Parks and get our NC State Parks Passport book stamped. We decided to make use of our time on the southeastern coast to check out a few of the state parks that we wouldn’t ordinarily have access to.
So on Sunday, we woke up and made our way to the Carolina Beach State Park in Carolina Beach.

After hearing how much fun we had during our April trip to Surf City and Topsail Island, my husband decided that he now wanted to go in June to celebrate turning the big 4-0. So we packed up the children and started on the 5-hour drive down to the beach.
One of the activities that we like to do as a family is hiking – we are diligently working our way through the NC State Parks Passport book, checking off all the state parks we visit. The southeastern part of the state has been a dead zone for us – lots of parks but not a lot of opportunity to visit them – so we decided to take advantage of our trip to check some off.
After having such an amazing breakfast bagel from Sunrise Bagel Co. on Thursday, we decided to return on Friday, which was a mistake. When we returned home, my 5-year-old started to eat his bagel (french toast with strawberry cream cheese) only to push it aside and say that it wasn’t good.
Thursday morning, we awoke hungry and I knew of the perfect spot for all of us. Next to Daybreak Donuts was a lovely little bagel shop that I had been wanting to try, Sunrise Bagels. So while my mom and the boys went to get donuts, I ordered myself a bagel.
