Aaaarggghhhh - It's Ernesto!!!!

We are waiting for Ernesto to come through here on the Outer Banks so I am taking a break from the fishing, swimming and treasure hunting to post a few pictures.


My son is using the pole that CastleCrest gave him to catch the first fish of our vacation! Over 20 caught in 4 days so far!

Thanks, guys. Looks like the worst of it will pass through around midnight. Hopefully it blows out in the morning like they predict and the roads are intact.

Flashlights are ready and we are about to sit down to some board games now.

Other than the hurricanes - this place is paradise. I actually woke up the other morning and didn't realize what day it was. It's been years since that has happened.

Yes, I have been told on several occasions this vacation that I have been inappropriate. Hehe......

We weathered the storm - just some screen damage - it was impressive and that wasn't even hurricane status (it was close though). Lots of wind this morning - we are packing up so that when the winds die down we can hit the beach (no swimming) and check out the waves.

LOL - my son wanted the parrot at the pirate store - and if you don't think I have an eye patch........

Loren....you should have seen the one that got away!!!!

Capt - that's our luck - something has to happen on a vacation - at least we didn't hit the medical center (that's a normal event on vacation - the pharmacy near Hersheypark has our whole family on file!


Well, we can't get off the island if we wanted to so we are going to relax and enjoy the ride!!!!!

Relaxing at the hotel in Winchester, Va - passed pretty close to you bkelm - we thought we would take the scenic route through the mountains - it is beautiful here also. Kids are in the pool and I am kicking back watching the RU - UNC game - out of cigars!!!! Smoked them at the wedding on Sunday.

Look forward to getting back home, though ... got some bombs to get out...........
