We had a great time out on the beach and the pool.
Melissa and Lauren even got up at 5am to catch the sunrise!!! I slept till 7....
About mid trip we decided to rent a boat for a few hours. I much prefer a v-hull cruiser or a bow rider, though seems the only thing you can rent in OBX is a pontoon. (Next time I will do more research.) As an experienced boater it was fun to watch the staff there come running to help me dock and I was done before they could bother. I was seriously in a happy place, I love boating, but not enough to sink money into owning my own.
The remaining time was spent relaxing away in the sun, surf or pool. And one night we got a beach fire permit (no cost, just sign off on safety.) So we started with pie iron pizzas before a few hours of just enjoying the fire. By the time we put it out per the rules and no sooner than I finished unloading the truck the skies opened up with a massive downpour. I thanked mother nature for allowing us to enjoy the beach fire and fun.
The week as so fun and flew by quickly. Before we knew it it was the last night for our friends who had to check out Friday, we were staying through Saturday. So we decided to have one adult night out for dinner and went to Millers on the Waterfront. It felt so odd to be out at a restaurant again, I think since my birthday in 2020 we been to a restaurant twice. Our good friends Ken and Christie where with us for this outing.
The food was yummy and I even got them to try fried cheese curds (which Christie had never tried before.)
All of our dishes where awesome and the service was good though they seemed to be struggling a little.
