Hatteras, NC

 Lunch at Dirty Dicks ~ Thanks Dad!

Day 1 ~ Just catching the fresh ocean air!

Chipper is not liking the water.  But, he was a real trooper. I definitely think he likes the ocean more than the lake; he can stand on all 4's.  However, he just didn't quite get the water coming and going part!

The Puzzle has been started!

Kyle and Grandma burning the midnight oil...

We moved it to a better location for better lighting and a better fit.

And.... puzzle 1 is complete!

Mom and Dad came to visit. We had a lovely time.

Fishing at the Point in Buxton.

Alissa is checking out Kite Boarding.  She is trying to decide if there's a lesson in her future or not....

It does look FUN! They are so graceful and elegant to watch.

Kite boarders are everywhere.  They even have their own section at Canadian Hole.

Home away from home in the OBX.

Chipper is EXHAUSTED!  Lots of walking along the beach and wave jumping...

Hatteras Lighthouse
at the point.

We went to Virginia Beach to pick up John. 

We stayed a day for a sail on Grandpa Charlie's Sailboat ~ Wind Walker

It was a fabulous morning.  We headed back early due to no wind.  Then, the wind picked

up and we were able to enjoy a very nice sail.  Then, lunch at the Yacht Club before heading south.

A nice walk along the beach with "The Chipper".

Fishing and more fishing for Jeffrey!  Every morning and every afternoon.  Life is GOOD!

Oh, just one of the MANY fish...

       

The guys are just plain relaxin'....

John's Sushi at Ketch 55 ~ I believe there was also Sushi in Chicago and then more Sushi in Chicago...

Last night at the Beach House :(...

The car ride from Hatteras Island to Virginia Beach!

Not one more thing would fit in the car...  Good thing it was only a 2 hour ride.  Though, we did have fun.
