Finding Mandee

Category: North Carolina

We were more than disappointed when we received orders for Fort Bragg. Moving to North Carolina wasn’t something that we looked forward to. But, in an effort to look on the bright side, I made a Fort Bragg Bucket List.

To my surprise, I found a whole list of things to do on-post and in Fayetteville. As I dug around on Pinterest some more, I found more than 100 things to do near Fort Bragg and across the state.

From the mountains to the sea, North Carolina is a beautiful state. Filled with southern hospitality, delicious food, and gorgeous views, it will forever be a part of our family’s story. We are so glad that it became a piece of our journey.
