OUTER BANKS HEAVEN

  DESTINATION: Outer Banks, 

North Carolina

    Nags Head

OH the seafood! Yummy! What a 

Wonderful trip! I cannot believe I am back. We had weather to die for. Sunny, high 80's to mid 90's! Who could ask for anything more! OK a few yarn shops maybe? DONE!

Knitting Addiction is a yarn store to spend hours and $$$$ in! One warning, don't take hubby if he isn't into yarn, like you.

Knitting addiction's owner, Jeanne Shrade,  is present and really a nice lady. She has a great sense of humor. I don't know about you, but when I am vacationing and find a LYS, I want to find something unique to that area, that I won't find back home. 

Jeanne covers that with flying colors! She designs her own patterns and you get them free when you purchase the yarn. 

I picked up two. I loose fitting shrug and a pattern called "big people blankie" , which is a triangular heavy shawl, with a large button attached to the top left side.  I will post some pics.

The highlight of the visit, was.....She had buttons! Not just any buttons, BUT the skull buttons I have been looking for over two years for!!!!  I could have gone home right then! But I stayed the rest of the week. I mean, it was only Monday.

Outside the seafood restaurant, my daughter and nephew pose for a beautiful sunset picture.

Yes, nephew. We went with the entire extended family. 19 to be exact! And you ask, well how was that? Wonderful!!! My mom was 

In her glory. All her children, spouses, grandchildren within arms reach 24/7. What more can you ask for!!!!

We did so much in one week, that we all need another to recover. 

Climbed 2 lighthouses. Visited 3. Looked at one from afar.

I loved Cape Hatteras. Prettiest lighthouse on the outer banks! I used to love Currituck, but after climbing Hatteras, it was love at first climb.

The Aquarium is a treat. A must go to, if you are visiting.

Everything we went to, was worth it. 

The ferry ride, to Ocaracoke, was the best part of the trip. The island is......Boring.  The shops are scattered and the                                                            folks are, well, not so friendly. 

The lighthouse, was not open to the public. It was smaller than all the others. Not real impressed with it. No where to park and tons of people trying to see it. But, at least I can say  I was there.

I finish with a few fun shots. Family, pretending to be on the titantic, the lighthouse and the whole Fam on the beach!

Keep knitting
