The Outer Banks

A few days ago, Tracy and I spent a long weekend at the Outer Banks. We have the fortune to know someone who both has a house in the Corolla Light Resort and was willing to let us stay there for free. Tracy had never been to that part of N.C. and I had been only once back in '98.

The resort sits in the shadow of the Currituck light house and as a result I received a crash course in the history of the North Carolina lighthouses. Interesting stuff if you have never heard it.

As it turns out, we did not actually spend more than a few minutes on the beach. We spent most of the grueling weekend sitting by the pool and taking advantage of the wait service and restaurant located there. Note: There is another half of our population and they live better than most of us. I've seen it.

We both really enjoyed the 'Banks and it has vaulted to the top of our vacation plans for next year.
