Carova - My kid is going to miss July 4th fireworks and I feel like a crappy mom.
We love 4th of July. I’ve always loved this holiday. My kid loves fireworks! I love fireworks! We love summer! It’s the best.
I booked a trip to Carova. A typical Sat-Sat rental DELIBERATELY booked to include JULY 4TH! We love nature and outdoorsy stuff so this was totally a deliberate choice to go to Carova. BUT! But I definitely expected that we’d be able to go see fireworks in Corolla and do Fourth of July stuff that first day (which is the 4th). We’ve never been to OBX but we vacationed last year during the 4th and loved experiencing it there.
Welp, I found out a few days ago what all of ya probably already know, which is that Corolla does their fireworks on the 3rd, not the 4th. I’ve already talked to my husband and begged him if we could drive down to see the Kitty Hawk fireworks on Saturday night. But he thinks doing the drive back to Carova on the beach after dark seems unwise. Especially on our first day there. I know he’s probably right.
I’ve tried everything. Tried finding a hotel room somewhere for Friday night so we could attend the Corolla fireworks. Tried talking to the rental owner about coming a day early. Looked into the possibility of camping out on Friday night.
Someone please tell me: Will we be able to see any fireworks at all from Carova on Saturday night??
