The Outer Banks has been on our radar for years, and it did not disappoint.
We drove 30 miles east from the North Carolina mainland to reach the barrier islands. Think small town, non-commercialized and historic vibes all along the ocean. Many restaurants were closed on Sundays and had limited hours during the week, even for peak summer days. Our hotel was the only one we could see and it just had five floors, two of which were hidden behind the berm, There were no high rise condos, or other buildings either. The shore was simply lined with the most darling beach cottages. We found turtle nests as I'm sure they love the lack of light pollution.
A little town simply focusing on the wonder of the Atlantic.
^^the Jacks from Maryland met us in Nags Head.
Being with them was easily the highlight.
After seeing the original plane used in the first flight at the Air and Space Museum in DC, we had to go to the site where man first flew!
^^we also played in the largest sand dunes out east at Jockey Ridge State Park.
^^and what's time at the beach without collecting seashells on my run?
^^The Messerly Four at the place where everyone is the happiest.
