Yes! If you are anywhere close, you HAVE to go to Mary Jo's. Be prepared to spend some time there though. If you're at all like me, you'll need it. If you're going to Camp Lejeune, Morehead City and Beaufort are close. These towns are beautiful and are worth seeing. Beaufort is the third oldest town in NC and is very walkable. Great seafood and B&Bs too. There's a quilt shop in Morehead too. I think the name is Sew it Seams. It's right on the main street. This part of town is pretty blah, but the waterfront is pretty. I really hope you have a great time. NC has been my home for most of my life. I spent a lot of time in Morehead as a child since my grandmother lived there. Welcome!
