Shared Vacations for October 2009

 Posted October 30, 2009 by This was our fourth year and we loved it again. We rented a kayak and took all the kids (7 of them) out for rides in the ocean. We rented a motor boat and got chased in by a thunder storm. We tried to sail on a calm day--that one is a doover. We saw some pretty terrific surf when Hurricane Bill wafted by out to sea. Our favorite is low tide for the tide pools and calmer ocean. Everyone got a chance to swim this year. And our labrador retreivers--let's just say, they have mastered the art of being a beach bum!! And for me, its the only place I really feel relaxed! Read More » | |

 Posted October 21, 2009 by SPAVE01We have been going to the Outer Banks since the early 90's and this year was my first year to actually climb to the top of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The climb is not for the faint of heart ... all 557 steps (at least that was what we were told by the park ranger ... that seemed like alot, until we actually started to climb it. By the time we finished climbing, it may well have been 1,557 ... until we moved out onto the observation deck. It was worth every step. If you get a chance, by all means, take the trip ... it's well worth the climb.Read More » | |

 Posted October 19, 2009 by JOUZA01We are getting ready to make our vacation plans for next year and thought we'd share a couple of our photos from last summer. We visited Corolla in August and took a tour of the 4-wheel drive area on the Northern Beach. It was an amazing experience. It was beautiful and unspoiled and the kids had a blast seeing the wild ponies that live on the Outer banks. We were told that they are descendents of the Spanish horses that swam ashore due to shipwrecks hundreds of years ago.Read More » | |
| Fall is Perfect at the Beach! | |

 Posted October 8, 2009 by KELLY02We have owned our rental condo for a few years now, and since we rarely use it during the summer months due to happy vacationers, I wanted to share how wonderful the Fall can be! We ALWAYS spot dolphins and there are few crowds in town. We have 4 kids, and they think of the oceanfront condo as their "happy place". There is always something to do and the ocean is the perfect "fix" for what ails you! If you have the time, check out SOV-2A for a few days this Fall, or even a whole week. You'll be delighted by this direct Read More » | |
