Outer Banks trip
OK, this is the third time I tried to start this thread, computer locked up for some reson once, lost internet once,SO I'm saving it right off the bat and I will add more pictures as I go along.
Willy, these pics may make up your mind The whole family took a vacation to Kitty Hawk last week, we stayed at a friend of the inlaws house, great place view from the dock  view from the house  thats the Currituck Sound, I didn't realize it till later but its mostly fresh water, we were less than a mile to the beach and had fresh water in the back yard. I read that back inits day, the sound was one of the top large mouth bass fishing spots in the country, teh fishery colasped in the early 80's. This is GarageNC's stomping grounds, we tried to hook up, but our schedules never worked out. This is me after 6 hours driving, 1 hour unpacking the Suburban and putting everything in the house and 3 minutes to drink two cold beverages and find a good place to sit down.  took the girls fishing that afternoon, Kaylee got a new fishing rod for her birthday and wa dying to try it out. We couldn't get anythign to take shrimp off the hook( even if it was fresh water, something should have taken shrimp). We had fun and allowed me to have another cold beverage.   ended the day with a beautiful sunset

On Monday we started out going to the aquarium on Roanoke Island
 after that we drove around Wancheese and Manteo, I got to see where they build all those Carolina boats, Then we drove down to Bodie Island to check out the light there  , we went down to Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, thats where the real boats dock up. I had to buy a hat. Finsihed up the day at the house, watching the sun going down  On Tuesday we drove up to Corrolla and checked out how the rich people vacation, some really big houses up there. we went to the Currituck Light House, pretty neat, Kaylee and I went up in it( Only light house that was open)  Finished up the day setting at the house watching the sun go down  Wednesday we went to the Wright Brothers Memorial  My wife is just happy now that shes doen with Chemo, her hair has gotten longer than mine  Took the kids to the beach to fly some kites,  then went over to Jockeys Ridge to let tehm play on the sand dunes  You know your Southern when your kids make sand angels instead of snow angels, my kids have never seen enough snow to play in  Thusday, made the ride all the way down to Ocracoke, took the ferry over  saw the "wild horses"  The Ocracoke Light House  and the Hatteras Light House  drove back to the house just in time to catch another sunset Friday, we drove right back down the Island, took teh Ocracoke Island ferry, then waited for the Cedar Island Ferry  had a picknic while we waited  Got on the Ferry and began a 2 and a half hour ride to Cedar Island     We just kept going South from there, driving thru Beaufort, Moorehead, Swansboro, Jacksonville, Sloop Point, WIlmington, crossed over back into SC, bypassed as much of Myrtle Beach as posible, ended up in Goose Creek laste Friday night. All in all, a great vacation. Next time I'm atleast going to bring the Mckee with me, adn I will make a point of getting together with Lee(garagenc).

great pics dave, we need to hook up next time. We can use the Kee to get around in some of the shallow areas going to my secret fishin holes. Alot of times I anchor and leave the V and walk another mile in ankle/knee deep water to the deep holes I've found. I use to fly around the beach and Currituck & Albermarle sounds looking for deep holes where fish would hole up and I was lucky enough to find a few.
