Once again, it's time to share my annual vacation to the Outer Banks, with friends and family! Over the years I have visited the area stem to stern, from Ocracoke Village, on north to past the end of 12. Although my heart lays in Hatteras Village, this year I'll be staying in Kitty Hawk. And, instead of the usual "McMansion" rental, this year's accomodations will be a traditional beach box cottage, situated not only ocean front, but directly on the beach.
Ohhhhh, yeeaaaahhhhh.
As you can see, the view from the deck more than makes up for the missing amenities, i.e., theater room, pool, tiki bar, big screen TV, etc. Only 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, the little cottage will be perfect for my needs - eating, sleeping, showering & just plain RELAXING!
This year's trip will be all about the beach road, also known as Route 12 or Virginia Dare Trail, that narrow 2 lane, often bumpy strip of pavement, stretching from Kitty Hawk to South Nags Head. My *goal* is to spend 1 entire week using only services provided on the beach road, including all shopping, dining, site-seeing & activities. I'll probably be taking more photographs than usual, if that's possible, and perhaps I'll see a different Outer Banks than what I've viewed previously.
This is the area that I'll be staying. I would guess the photo was circa 1940's?
