After a wonderful 11 days in St Louis, we moved on to Kansas City for what was meant to be eight days there.

A Day In The Outer Banks: Kitty Hawk, Corolla & Point Harbor, NC
I (Shae) grew up only 2 hours from the Outer Banks and we went there a fair bit when we lived in Portsmouth, VA from 2010-2017, so we didn't feel like it was a priority on the road trip since we only had 3 weeks to explore the whole state.
