If you know who sang that song, kudos to you! Anyway, I’m in the Outer Banks on vacation with my family. For those unfamiliar with it, it’s a looooooong stretch of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina. They play an important role during hurricane season because they get hit with the brunt of storms while the inner coastline is more protected. There are tons of beaches around here (many of which are practically empty or the only other company you have are some wild horses). The Outer Banks is also the site of the Wright Brothers’ first successful flight from Kitty Hawk (where there are some massive sand dunes for elevation).
The house we are staying at is located in Duck, N.C., which happens to be one of the narrower stretches of the islands. Our house is facing Currituck Sound, and has its own pier for launching our kayaks. You can actually see the mainland in the distance if you squint your eyes. The ocean is within walking distance of our house, but I have yet to go there.
Tonight the sunset was beautiful, so I took a few pictures and video to share!
