Vacation at OBX, NC (Aug13-20, 2011)

Day1: Entering the Outer Banks

By KW

So it all starts out right where the magic happens! I know what you must be thinking where it could be, on the beach or on a beautiful romantic balcony overlooking the sea? Well where it all happens is the complete opposite of what you are thinking; it is in a car that is so stuffed that it might be ready to explode! So the only way to make myself comfortable is I must find a good way to lay down .As 8 hours go by I do whatever I can to keep myself entertained.

Along the way we come to a spot where it starts to drizzle, and then so suddenly it turns into one of the biggest downpours I’ve ever seen!

But then we come to a bridge called Chesapeake Bay in Virginia that is 18 miles long! How cool is that! Towards the end of the bridge is a small clearing that has a peer and a restaurant and we eat there for lunch. In line we saw our friends that are coming along with us but that’s not important. For lunch I eat barbecue beef burger. Once we finish our lunch we start to head out to the pier to look at the fish. There was a man who caught a 10lb. sheephead. The man lets my dad uses it for a picture that will make it looks like he caught it, but don’t tell him!  

Anyway we keep on driving and driving until we get to the rental place called beach side rentals. In their office they have very nice hospitality they also have cookies and free Frisbees. Julian, Andrew’s older brother, has just accidentally thrown it up to the roof. Now we are going to our rental house. So we are here at the house. It is a very interesting one. They have apparently turned the garage into a clubhouse. I see a foosball table, a poker game set that I will use to play Black jack. A T.V. set and a bar but we probably won’t use it. Please keep this place in mind as later on in my stories I will mention this a lot.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention a very important part, we will be spending this whole trip with a very close family friend of ours, the Peis. So we are picking out our beds and really just hanging out in the house for this Saturday. But the only thing that we are doing outside of the house is going out to Subway for dinner. And after that we are just watching T.V until bed.

 It has been a pretty interesting day for just getting to our destination.
