We got home late Sunday night after a wonderful trip to the
Outer Banks.
Everything was terrific--the surf, the sand and the seafood.
We visited the Wright Museum and Pea Island on the way down
to the Salty Dog Sunday and then had dinner at the Sandbar
Bar and Grill. (The pizza take out has now become a game
room). We took the ferry to Ocracoke Tuesday for a fabulous
full day at the beach (we took a picnic in coolers) then
showered and cleaned up there enough to go to Howard's Pub
for dinner. We sat on the screened in porch and then we had
reservations for the ghost tour that left from the Village
Craftsmen that evening. We did it all! It was a great trip
over and back and we even saw a shooting star on our return
ferry ride.
Most of the time we would play, bob and boogie board in the
surf and collect shells, swim laps before dinner and we all
took a night fixing a meal. We ate fish from the shop
attached to Shoals restaurant near the grocery store and got
wonderful seafood--tilefish, black drum, crabcakes, clam
chowder and a favorite--cobia? We played catch phrase and
worked on the big flower puzzle in the evenings and
Wednesday night we drove up to Manteo to see the Lost
Colony. That is a beautiful little town. I can almost
picture Andy Griffith stepping out on the way to pick up
Opie.
The house worked out great. The views from the deck of the
sound are fabulous and the hot tub is in a perfect spot. It
is a quick walk to the beach, so it seems to be ideal for
both beach and sound without having to choose between the
two. The pool is just icing on the cake. We enjoyed your
well-equipped kitchen as we did a lot of cooking at the
house, even made homemade ice cream one evening, complete
with my homemade hot fudge sauce. We got a kick out of
seeing the crab come out at night down at the beach. There
were 9 of us--my husband and I, older daughter and husband,
his parents from Kentucky, my sister and husband from
Illinois and our younger college age daughter. We all had a
great time!! Even finished it off with a trip to the seafood
take out for a picnic outside the restaurant at the Sugar
Creek and then homemade custard in Kill Devil Hills (Yum).
Thanks for all your help, it all went smoothly and was a
wonderful trip.
