an actual beach vacation
For those that don't know, Sara and I went on vacation to the Outer Banks last week. Patsy and Skip have a house there and were kind enough to let us join them and my parents for a few days of salt water and sand...family style.
The pictures below are in reverse chronological order...kind of but not really. I haven't mastered this blog thing yet.
A view from the porch at the Skipper's Catch. (Patsy and Skip's house)
Found this girl hanging around outside our front door when we got home.
The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum.
A real live pelican.

That barrel behind us was used to hold Kerosene so the keeper could light the candle in the lighthouse. He had to use a bucket to get 40 - 50lbs of kerosene and then take the 268 steps to the top.

Did we ever figure out what kind of bird this is? My guess: long necked, long legged water fowl.
Okay so they're more out of order than I thought. This is the view from the top of Hatteras.
Smiling happy people.
At Hatteras they had miniatures of Nick, Lynn and Patsy.
Driving up into oblivion.
