Catch Up

Inside Currituck Lighthouse

Currituck Lighthouse

Can't believe it's been a full 3 weeks since I posted a blog entry.  I've been busy the entire time, but rather than write a lot, I'll post photos.

Outer Banks





The beach here this morning was so gorgeous.  I took a 45-minute walk and, although it had rained last night and it rained throughout the day, it wasn't raining when I walked.  I admit, this is what I had in mind when I wanted to spend 9 months by the ocean.  Not the size of the house (8 bedrooms, 3 stories), but the location.  The huge picture windows look out across the dunes to the restless waves.

Tomorrow was supposed to be clearing, but now they're calling for more rain.  Rain isn't a problem when there are 15 people and 2 dogs in the house!

More OBX







Back in Rockville, MD this morning after a restful and wonderful weekend at the beach and environs. It was so much fun spending time with my cousins, and Marie's baby Juliette is such a doll! Karen was so good about making sure I saw as many things as possible in the area when I was there, though we both realize now it won't be my last trip. As beautiful as it is, though, I'm still happy I chose Martha's Vineyard for my writing. I have a busy day ahead, so I'll let some photos speak for what it was like on the Outer Banks, North Carolina. (Note: The second photo is ice on the trees after the sprinkler froze icicles during the night.)

The Outer Banks

Made it to Kitty Hawk, NC yesterday afternoon to join family at their timeshare here. This is the land of tall, straight pines with branches only at the top and beach houses on stilts.

Connectivity is very spotty, so this will be short and photos will follow. We ate dinner at the Black Pelican last night - the building is where the Wright Brothers telegraphed to the world that first flight had been achieved!

It's quite cold here (around 40), but sunny so I look forward to the day. We had so much fun playing with Marie and Chris' new baby, Juliette. She is a real doll and has such a good disposition. Today we see the shops and tomorrow the beach!
