Nags Head Style

We recently made another pretty awesome jaunt to the Outer Banks for some relaxation, shopping, sightseeing*, beer (well, for one of us) and beach time. I took some snapshots while I was done there, and here are a few of them.**

Unfortunately, the “No Swimming” flags were up on both Saturday and Sunday, thanks to treacherous riptides and rough surf. But the beach was still beautiful.

We also saw this puppy learning how to catch Frisbees, and he was so freaking pumped up about it he couldn’t stop barking even as he was running. I got pretty lucky with this shot.


On Sunday night, we decided to take a short walk on the nearby golf course to catch the sunset on the sound.


There were more than a few cool views of the sound to be had.


We also visited the pier on the sound that Gallo used to love to check out.


We met a kindly older gentleman and his 15.5-year-old dog, Christie. He said that Christie’s brother had passed away not too long ago and that Christie had been sad ever since. She seemed to like the pier, though, and the man thanked us for being nice to his dog and not making him put a leash on her. We assured him that he wouldn’t meet any more dog-friendly folks than us.


The 10th hole on the nearby course is one of a few that runs adjacent to the sound. There’s no telling how many golf balls (and driver heads) rest at the bottom of Roanoke Sound.


All in all, it was quite a “babymoon” (new term to Scoot) vacation to the OBX. Next up … the Ube roller-coaster begins -- that should be quite a trip.

* We took a trip to the Wright Brothers Memorial, which was cool to relive as an adult. I may add a few pix from that visit at a later date.
