Give me oysters and beer for dinner every day of the year





Behold the majesty of the rolling cooler. It was marketed as a "beach cooler." Let me just tell you how big a pile of horseshit that is. It plows sand better than it rolls, but that couldhave been from the 2 cases of beer and 20 lbs of ice in it. Whatever. False advertising I say.

Where we spent most of our days





We drove out on the beach right behind the Cape Hatteras light house.






I tried to get some pictures of the bait fish that were swimming right behind the breakers that made the water look literally like it was boiling, but they didn't turn out. The dolphin pictures are too far away, too. But, they were there dammit!!

There's also a picture of a woman from Denmark that I had to help pull out of the surf because she got a cramp apparently in her leg. It didn't turn out that well either. I think my buddy was laughing too hard to take it. I'm saying an apparent cramp because she spoke NO English at all but kept rubbing at the back of her leg. They were very appreciative though of my concern and didn't seem to mind that I smelled like beer and fish. So, score 1 point for Denmark.

It was only a week's vacation, but surprisingly unlike most vacations I've been on, the good feelings seem to be lasting a little longer this time around. We're already talking about where we want to go next year. I can't wait for the next trip somewhere!

I haven't been to Hatteras since I was a wee Bethie-child and your pictures have inspired me to try to plan a trip back...glad you had fun.

A picture is worth a thousand words...The one featuring the errant black sock lounging among the empty, crushed beer cans speaks volumes to me.

Looks like good times.

Dude...Bud Light and Miller Lite?!? I've been gone a while I know, but it's like I don't even want to know you anymore.
