It’s Wednesday, June 22nd and it’s our last night at Camp Hatteras, NC. We have enjoyed being in The Outer Banks. It’s like a small ribbon of land in the middle of the ocean. It’s unlike any beach I’ve ever been to. It’s remote and quaint and fun.
We love the RV campground here. There are 400 campsites and we have a site as close to the beach as you can imagine. It’s so cool. The kids are having a blast playing with all of the other children in the rv’hood. It’s a block party every night. Rebecca has ridden her bike more this week than she has in the last year.
We’ve also done some other neat things while we have been here. We rode a ferry to a fishing village on Ocracoke Island. We actually drove our jeep onto the ferry. We had a nice meal and visited a couple of lighthouses and a Civil War museum. It was very interesting.
While we were at the park, we bought our National Park yearly pass as well as Park Passport books for the kids. We are armed and ready to hit a few of the 400 parks spread across the USA.
We’ll break camp here tomorrow morning before heading a few hours up the road to Virginia Beach. By Friday, we’ll be at Camp Beth Page near the Chesapeake Bay. We are looking forward to Virginia Beach because we’ll see my good friend Monica and her husband Bob. I have known Monica practically 40 years. To my surprise and delight, she moved in next door to us when I was in the 3rd grade. It will be great to see a familiar faceJ
We have been up early every morning. It’s hard to sleep in when you have dogs and 4 people in a 12 x 45 ft. area. It’s actually been a blessing though. Rocky and Emma (our dogs) have helped me meet lots of nice people in the morning. I commented to one woman that you could sure spot the dog owners. She laughed and showed me her mug that said, “If coffee doesn’t wake you up, get a dog”! That’s the truth. This morning I saw a beautiful sunrise. I even had my camera with me. Imagine that!
Thanks for keeping in touch!
Becky.
