We went to the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island. While swimming, these dead jelly fish would wash up. We had DQ for dinner one night and sat at the kite shop and watched the kite boarders. Pretty cool to try that. $400 for 2 hrs-UGH. So we watched instead. We found a great pizzeria to eat at-Lisa's Pizzeria. We nicknamed it 'Aunty Wisa's!!' ;)

Outer Banks is on Hwy 12 which is surrounded by the sound on one side and the ocean the other. Hwy 12 is only 1/2 - mile wide. Very scenic south of Kitty Hawk which is the Cape Hatteras Nat'l Seashore which is protected. Beautiful wildlife, dunes, etc. Nags Head, Kitty Hawk north up to Duck is commercial, touristy. We were in Rodanthe, the Seashore Reserve and it wasn't as built up. We had a deck off our condo lr. We ate breakfast every am and read and watched the ocean. It was great to go out there and relax. We saw a pod of dolphins swimming one day at the beach. It was awesome to see them swimming by. They're so graceful.

A great week of R&R and time seemed to stand still and then it's already Friday. BLAH. Until next year..............

Now we're home and back to the usual. In no time, we'll be in Mn. On the road again.
