Our Beach Vacation 2012

We took a short trip to Nag's Head Beach in NC in the Outer Banks. We are hooked. We loved it so much. I think each member of our family came to me separately and said that they want this destination for our beach vacations from now on. If you haven't been then give it a try! It's so pretty there and quiet, but there is plenty to do if you want to do more than veg out on the beach. The beaches aren't overcrowded. Plus...it's pet friendly! Our dogs got to walk on the beach early in the morning and later in the evening. I won't say that they loved it but they did find it interesting. Neither dog wanted to go into the water but they loved running on the beach (as far as their flexi-leashes would go, anyway).

Betsy travels very well and enjoyed the trip. She's still young at just 1 yr old.

We found the Wright Memorial by happy accident

Rascal needed a nap after a long walk

I made a new friend in the hotel bird, Sabrina

It was always easy to find a spot for our towels on the beach

The hotel had a great grassy area for the dogs to walk and do their "business"

Some of the parking lots had spots like these. We assumed it was for runoff from rain.

The hotel had beautiful landscaping.

I had so much fun with my new camera!

Mini rainbow!

And this is why I keep going back to the beach...

There really is a Farmville!
