OBX with the Borderopoli

This weekend we headed south for the Outer Banks of North Carolina with some friends. It was so nice the get out of the city, and it worked wonders on Autumn's spanish on Monday. We started the day in Duck drove south toward Nag's Head to check out the lighthouse and beaches. It was back to Kitty Hawk for mini-golf, lunch and the largest sand dune on the East Coast. Finally, we wound up the night back in Duck for a little swimming and dinner. It was pouring down rain on Sunday, but we stuck around and drove up to the northernmost accessible end of the Outer Banks. We visited another lighthouse and grabbed some North Carolina Bar-Be-Que before heading back to DC.
Fresh doughnuts dunked and topped to order....genius! Duck Doughnuts!
Lighthouse visit #!...FAIL! It was being renovated.
We did get to see an underwater crab battle, so the trip down to Bodie Island wasn't a complete loss.
Aww...so cute and dressed up in red and green! I guess we're ready for Christmas!
Now that's what I'm talkin about!
Autumn and her true love.....the iPhone!
Eagle-eye Sterling and her hole-in-one victory pose!
Sand-boarding was much slower and more dangerous than we initially thought! We determined it was pretty much a conspiracy between the Jockey Park people and the Super Wings people to sell more boogie boards!
Kite flying was a much bigger hit!
Sahara Desert or North Carolina? .....Water!...gasp...Water!
No water here, but I guess the drive-through liquor store will do!
