4th of July!

Happy Independence Day America! I was so honored to be a part of the N.C. 4th of July Festival held in Southport today to celebrate our freedom!  Thank you to the wonderful Mrs. Jean Lawler for being the best parade chauffeur ever!

The crowd today showed me what the 4th of July is all about, they were all so vibrant in their red, white, and blue!!! I loved meeting all of the little kids on the pier afterwards and talking to all the little future princesses! 🤍

I hope everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday!! 💙🇺🇸❤️
