Well, all good things do come to an end...had a fabulous week at Whalehead Beach in Corolla, NC (pronounced Kuh-rah-luh)...one of the Northern beaches on the Outer Banks. We have been vacationing there for nine years and it really is just a little slice of heaven...we have been staying in the same house for the last four years, because it is clean, has a hot tub, pool and is extremely well-equipped...it is our home away from home...(when Bob and I first started vacationing there we looked at beach homes that were selling for $300K...didn't act on it..those homes are worth over a million now...argh...oh well...) The weather was great...only a couple of really hot days, only one t-storm at night...the rest was comfy and breezy...we got one of those gazebo's-in-a-bag from Dick's sporting goods that absolutely revolutionized our stay on the beach...we could stay down there so much longer than normal because we had shade for all of us that didn't include tiny umbrellas flying all over the place...ate at some great restaurants, grilled lots of fish at home, shopped at my favorite shops in historic Corolla village, went to the beach, pool and hot tub in that order every day, and showered in the outdoor shower which the kids thought was cool..lest we not forget that we were front and center on Friday night for the premiere of "High School Musical 2" on the Disney Channel.. uh huh..you read correctly...so now we are home unpacked, laundry underway, grass cut, car washed, and grocery shopping done...I am so not ready to face the next two weeks before school starts...oh well, life goes on...here is a just a snippet of a day at the beach....
