Day 11

(9/13/08) – Cape Hatteras Island, NC Lazy day…this is what vacationing is all about. We really sat around and did a whole lot of nothing. Some reading, some basic cleanup around the RV and just resting. Later in the afternoon, we went down to the beach with Bacon for another run; both he and Kevin were too tired for much more than walking along the beach. He was too cute—Bacon, of course. He’s still very uncertain about the waves, so he tends to run from the surf as it comes in, but then gladly joins his mom and dad when it rolls back out. I took a few pictures today. The first was when our "neighbor" left in the morning. They had an interesting tool to line up their hitch with their trailer. Two florecent yellow poles magnetically attached to the ball and tongue. The driver can easily see these through the rearview mirror to align the vehicle to the trailer. Very cool concept.

We mentioned the "sound" side of the island previously. To the right is a picture of what the looks like. You'll notice that you don't see land on the horizon...yes, the Outer Banks are that far out. The last picture is an interesting assortment of mushrooms that we ran into walking back from the store. These were all over the park. Being out in the desert, we don't typically see these. We very much enjoyed what is our last day at this camp ground. It is highly likely that we’ll return here for a visit as soon as we can. Tomorrow will be around 6 to 7 hrs of travel down to Myrtle Beach, SC.
