Vacation recap

Day 1 was such a breather. Got in touch with our friends down at milepost 21.5 and planned to have a filipino dinner night on Monday. Day 2-7 was a little bit of this a little bit of that bit no little bit of bodyboarding! What do you do? You become a major tourist and a shopper. This break was complete with massages, pedicures (Lotus), wave watching, bird watching with Tanya (DVO), hanging out with some good ol friends, boutique-ing, working out (3/7 days), DS playing (thanks to Joyce who challenged our brain ages) and movie watching.

The last day of vacation

All in all we had a GREAT time, but on the last day we checked the beach and the red flag was there to greet us again. So, the entire time we did not get to swim in the ocean or get to have good times on the boards (and we were prepared!). Joyce and Paul left on Friday morning to head to Richmond for Paul's tournament weigh in. (Pics from the NAGA tournament coming soon) Michael and I went to Corolla & Duck for the day. I really like the Currituck Lighthouse. It was made of a million bricks. And now on the retail note... If you're ever in Duck make sure you visit, now my fave in Duck, Confetti Clothing in the Scarborough Faire shopping center.

In good company

When you're in good company you can have fun on a windy, soggy, no swim beach vacay. Here we are enjoying the 45 MPH winds on the top of the hill at the Wright Bros. Memorial.

Finding more to do at Nags Head

With the extreme winds and no beach left we are venturing out and finding other things to do while we're here. We highly recommend the kayak tour with Duck Village Outfitters. We don't recommend going on really windy days because you might blow away once you reach the sound and bay. Remember to ask for Tanya! The sand dunes and Wright Memorial are kinda cool too.

Great views on the beach. Wait, what beach?

Joyce and I decided to get some more time in on the beach. We took a nap after our Mexican meal...so I guess we had siesta. We took a comforter and some towels and shnoozed. Since the wind was blowing so much and the waves were about a story high we could only lay on the incline because there wasn't much of a beach left. Here's what else we saw on the beach during "no swimming" time. I think they were going to break the law.
