We loved our stay at the Nags Head Beach Inn and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. You can check out their website at: http://www.nagsheadbeachinn.comWe really enjoyed Ken (the owner)- he is a trip in and of himself. We were new to the whole Bed and Breakfast deal, but we really enjoyed it and will surely return.
Isn't the Inn just a perfect little beach getaway? It looks like it belongs in a Nicholas Sparks novel. Those are the bikes that we got to ride as a part of our stay. We also got to use the beach chairs and umbrellas. It was so, so nice to have a lot of the comforts of home at our fingertips.
This was taken from the front of the Inn. That hill of sand is that entrance to the beach. The sand was sometimes unbearably hot, but well worth the pain to get to the beach for sure!
There was even a little outdoor shower for those hot summer days. Jackson decided to clean up in there before we headed to Raleigh to fly home.
He got a kick out of his outdoor shower. Silly boy. :)
On our way back to Raleigh (about a 3.5 hour trip), I noticed the car was really hard to steer. As it turns out, we had a messed up tire. UGH! Thankfully my knight in shining armor, Jackson, was able to fix our issue and get us on the road again in no time.
It was seriously the hottest day ever to have car trouble in the middle of North Carolina. I swear I have never felt such intense heat. Whew. No wonder those people down the sweet tea. ;) THEN, when we were nearly to Raleigh a truck in front of us had a ladder blow out of his bed and onto the roadway. Jackson, thankfully, had taken over driving and was able to do minimal damage by swerving and missing some of the ladder. It flew up and hit a van behind us. It was a really scary couple of moments, but everyone was fine. We pulled over and checked our car, the van and then carried on. The old man with the flying ladder was able to get it off the roadway pretty quickly, too. It would have been a lot worse of a situation and we were certainly being looked over on this trip.
Even with all of the car surprises, we made it to Raleigh in time to see North Carolina State University's campus. I am working with them on a project at work and wanted to see their campus. It was really nice. We were pleasantly surprised. We made it to the airport in plenty of time to grab some dinner and do a little people watching. This lady was our favorite. Check out her hair. Yep. She was awesome. We were separated on our second flight from D.C. and I was seated next to an off-duty flight attendant. We had such a nice time chatting. I simply love sitting next to interesting people on planes. I think it is one of my favorite things. I feel like in today's world of constant interruption, the skies are where we can really slow down and reconnect to what is important. Anyway, we made it home safely and returned to work today.
I did not got in to work until after lunch so I got to eat lunch with this sweet little girl. It is always so nice to be reunited with my little love after some time away. I had a team dinner at St. Elmo's tonight. I know. A 4 day vacation and then a half-day of work that includes dinner at Indy's most famous steakhouse? Life is rough. ;)
