OBX 2008

OK!...we've been here for 1:20, and I'm on my 3rd Yuengling Lager. I've discovered that they have a free WAN. Excellent.
I'm ready to beat the kids already, and have already languished briefly in the pool after working up a quick sweat unloading the Jeep. All clean and showered, and rarin to go.

this first day of vacation is always the best. that dreaded check out day is far enough away that i aint skeered of it.....the 8 hour ride down is behind us....I have food, beer and other distractions.

we'll be doing a video tour for y'all and some pics of this and that. I'll have more time to stir up the cellar this week, so be warned.

seriously...i have some axes to grind.

just kidding......no really.

Did you have to pay extra to get that awesome moon view? Looks like a great place to be!

Jinx has arranged for all tropical bad weather to divert to the Gulf of Mexico for the next week.









Yeah, she can do that.

Wow - looks amazing. Here's to long long sunny days for you.

Brings back memories of our beach holidays. Except we stayed in a tiny caravan. Oh and all but one of them were during record weeks of rain. Still, the memories of that one magical week stay with me!
It was proper serendipity - Mum & Dad had booked into a tiny caravan park because they just couldn't afford anything else that year. The facilities on site were... A Games Room. Which was a musty lean-to with a Pac Man and a Space Invaders. The nearest shop and playground were half a mile down the road. BUT it was right on a glorious, sandy and empty beach. That particular week it was sunshine from sun-up to sundown and we ran and dug and chased and paddled to our heart's content, and only occasionally whined for ice-creams. Magic.

The next year we were back at the all singing all dancing camp and it pissed down as usual!

Take lots of pics and have a fantastic time.

Ok where are they? I still don't know. For a minute it looked like they were in a time share of my parents, which scared the hell out of me, but I'm over it.

Nice moon.....veeery pretty.

Say would you guys like a puppy to go with all that fun?
