Life, uncorked.
Yes, here is proof that I can even get out of bed early…way early…for a great photo opportunity…
Okay, so SuperGuy got up at 5am to go deep sea fishing…I figured I’d seize the day…or seize my camera…or whatever.
They sure make a gorgeous sunrise here on the outer banks. (and, yes, there is a good chance I’ll take a nap later today…)
So, you know how you pay good money to go to those spas and get in shape? Maybe long hikes and yoga? Ha! They have nothing on this place at The Outer Banks.
First off, we have quite the walkway to the beach across the dunes.
Yep, that’s a lot of steps.
Then when you come back to the house?
You climb up all these stairs…and that’s only on the outside of the house… So, I’m thinking why pay for a gym membership, or trainer, or to go to a health spa? Just come to The Outer Banks! I’m just sure we’re losing weight…I should have buns of steel after this, right? RIGHT??
After all that exercise, there is only one thing we can do. Sit on the upper deck and watch the waves and…
I knew those beach buckets would come in handy!
Remember? I asked your advice about vacationing in The Outer Banks? Well, thank you for all the hints and advice about the different areas. Guess where we are right this very minute?
Ah, yes. We rented a place on Hatteras Island, a bit south of Avon. A quieter part of OBX. We like that. A. Lot.
Why, yes…that is how many people we see on the beach today, why do you ask?? :love:
We rented this house, which is a bit, just a tad, overkill for just SuperGuy and I. :dance:
We wanted a house right on the beach, and there aren’t such things as small cottages on the beach in this area. BTW, hint…rent in off season! We can spend more in downtown Chicago for a weekend than a week’s rental off season in this area of OBX!
The weather has been wonderful. Sunny. About 80.
We have our own little walkway over the dunes to the beach. The totally not crowded beach. Oh, I already mentioned that!
Well, I’ll regale you later with stories from the road trip out here. Trips with SuperGuy are always…um…interesting.
To those males left at home? House watching? I know you’re having parties on the back patio and poker parties at the house. Everything better look so picked up and just how I left it!
More OBX tomorrow!
