Some Friends of ours from DC, Tommy, Mary, Teddy, and Emily, invited us to come with them to their beach house in Duck, NC (the Outer Banks) this weekend. Since we don't have our own house to work on, nor other big projects going on, we, and a friend of mine, Mary, decided to go.
We have had a fun and relaxing time here together. The weather has been perfect, not too cool, not too hot. The water was cold at first, but we got use to it easily. Unfortunately, the water was very rough from Hurricane Kyle out in the Atlantic, so the "No Swimming" flags were out. We could go into the water about 10 feet. We got knocked over by huge waves, then suddenly the water would get sucked out for the next big wave, sometimes almost pulling us with it, or we were were uncomfortably sitting on the sand in about 8 inches of water until the next wave came. It was a very different ocean than I have ever swam in before. We had fun playing Ultimate Frisbee on the beach, too.
Tomorrow we are leaving early to go by Kitty Hawk and the Wright Brothers Museam, then heading home to make it to Eric's soccer game and my orchestra rehearsal.
It has been a great weekend, especially visiting with old friends.
