Vacation!!!

One week of eating, drinking, reading, swimming, knitting and long walks on the beach (Nags Head NC). How better can life get?


The cottage..... We had to change cottages this year. The one we normally get is no longer available. A victim of beach erosion. The septic system was washed away and the town won't let the owner replace it. We had to scramble for this cottage and were really lucky to get it. It's hard to get cottages on the ocean.



One of the coolest kites ever! The next door neighbors had it. The only flew it one day. After that, it was to windy.

The ocean. We had 3 amazing days were the water was warm and the surf was low. Perfect for spending a couple of hours bobbing around in the water. We decided that bobbing is the correct term to use. We started out with floating, but decided that the connotation was to purposeful, to active. Bobbing was a much better description.


The next 2 pictures are of the yearly sand castle. This year's was not quite as involved as previous years, but it made up for it in shear size. It was probably about 20 feet long and 1o feet deep. Our old cottage is in the bottom picture. It is the one in the far background that looks like it is about 10 feet from the ocean. (which it is)
