Who's gonna ride your wild horses...

I've been vacationing in Carolla, North Carolina since Saturday as part of the Kessler July 4th family vacation. It's an exotic experience for me, as bizarre as that may seem. Never have I had a quintessential American vacation: being in an 8-bedroom rented beach home for a week with four generations of relatives. We cook, we lounge, we do yoga, we sit in the hot tub, we play cards, we take dips in the ocean, we contemplate go-cart racing, and (most exciting so far for me) we saw wild horses on the beach yesterday.
