This is the view from the rear deck of the house facing towards the ocean. If you look closely you can see ocean on the horizon, its just a little darker blue than the sky.
We ate a lot of seafood. Most of it was fried, but these clams weren't. They were steamed. Brent played with the clams after he ate their insides.
This is the view from the rear deck facing the sound side of the island. One of the nights when it rained the small pond just in front of the deck overflowed and filled our street with about a foot of water. We were afraid the water would rise and start getting into our cars but luckily it didn't and by morning there were just large puddles in the street and nothing more.
This was a secluded beach we went to and spent most of a day at. It was very beautiful but very windy. Bella had a great time at this beach. She kept escaping from her leash and harness.
Bella had a great time chasing the seagulls and other birds on the beach, for some reason she thought she would catch them even though they could fly.
Bella also chased the little sand crabs that were everywhere on the beach. She did catch some of them and ate them. What a wierd dog!
Bella didn't much like getting wet but if she was chasing something it didn't seem to bother her. One time she tried to run away from an incoming wave but wasn't fast enough. She looked like a drowned rat when she came up from the water. We had to bath her every night, she would get sand, seaweed, and little briars stuck all over in her hair and she also smelled like sea water so she wasn't very pleasant until we did bath her. She went swimming a couple of times in the pool but only because we threw her in. She didn't like that. But she did like running around the pool as we did laps, barking and growling at the splashes we made.
Brent playing in the water. The whole time we were there he was always trying to body surf and was successful some of the time. I have no idea what he's doing in this picture, he assures me it was something manly.
This is the Cape Hatteras light house, we toured the inside and top of it. It is amazing how high it is! I think it is one of the oldest light houses in the U.S.
Scenery from our beach.
Brent and I built two sand castles while we were there. This may not look like much in the picture but we had built two walls and two motes to help keep out the rising tide. This took us a while and was the better of the two sand castles we built. Alas, there was no trace of it when we went back to check on it in the morning.
