Outerbanks of NC
A place like no other, the Outer banks of North Carolina. We stayed in Nags head and Ocracoke. In one sentence: Quiet, beautiful fishing/beach towns with lots of history...and good food of course! I'm dreaming of the soft shell crab and broiled scallops that tasted like butter!
The island is small enough that you can use your bike, most the time. Lydia and little cousin Brody were brave enough to let me pull them.
The Ocracoke lighthouse, one of the oldest in the U.S.
An up close shot of an Ocracoke Spanish "pony". The theory behind them is that their descendants were left behind from the Spanish explorers, De Soto or Cortez in the 1500's.
We visited the Lost Colony of Roanoke site and went to the outdoor play. Amazing!!
Yvette, Brody, and Lydia panning for pirate booty...Too bad they never found my wedding ring I lost on the beach! =(
We had so much fun. Thank you abuelito and abuelita (and the Bowmans) for spending time with us in this beautiful place. We will never forget it!!
