Ocracoke Summer Vacation - 2008
Frequent visitors to Dave and Karrie.com will remember that last summer we went to Ocracoke Island, North Carolina for our vacation.
We have managed to work it out so that we could come here again this year! We are staying at my in-laws house while they are away.
We got here on Sunday afternoon, in time for the 5:30 ferry.
It was a little windy, but a relaxing wind-down after the trip. Trent is at his grandparents house in Florida this time, so he wasn't able to make the trip. We miss the little fella.
I read over the 2007 Ocracoke Vacation blog, and realized that when we got here last time, it was too late to make dinner. We ended up going to Howard's Pub . We did the same thing this time. And it was delicious, as always.
We got up the next morning at the crack of dawn (10:30am) and had breakfast. Packed up the Yukon, let the tires down to 12 pounds of air each, and hit the beach!
When we ran out of beer were done relaxing at the beach, we came home and had grilled quesadillas for dinner and watched a movie.
Tuesday morning, we got up and decided to hit the beach again. It was a little overcast and cooler than Monday, so we figured it was a good day to introduce Diesel to the ocean. He has never been outside of Virginia. He LOVED the ocean. Unfortunately, he decided to bite the salt water and ingest some of it, topped with sand.
We got home and he slept like a rock. Then he experienced, shall we say, some intestinal discomfort.
He will be sitting out our next trip to the beach.
It is now Wednesday morning as I type this. I am sitting on the porch, having a cup of coffee. We decided we are going to skip the beach today, since a couple of us (myself included) managed to get sunburned during the festivities of yesterday.
I posted a bunch of photos that we have taken since arriving. You can see them here .
Also, on the Dave and Karrie.com subsidiary web site, Life and Times at Sticky's II , we are posting as-they-happen pictures from my BlackBerry. You can check that out here .
Having an awesome time, stand by for more updates from Ocracoke !!!
