Beach Trip to Nags Head


Over Ryan's spring break we rented a beach house with some friends from school. It was in the off season so it wasn't quite beach weather, but we still had a great time! This is Ryan in the waters of Okracoke Island. You have to take a 40 min ferry ride to and from the island. We were too late for 5:00 ride back to Hatteras so we had another hour to play on the beach until the ferry came back at 6:00.


Even pregnant ladies can frolic. "I'm a pony!! I'm a pony!!"
We went to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, but they wouldn't let us go inside. Did you know they moved this lighthouse from the shore line in the 90's? It's the tallest building ever to be moved...or maybe I made that up...

Ryan braved the freezing waters in a very Bay Watch-esque manner.

We made a beautiful sand mermaid complete with seashell bra and disturbingly broad grin.

I decided it would be a good idea to hang out with the locals while we were at the beach. Old Blackbeard didn't seem too happy to have his picture taken.

That's Ryan taking on the Red Baron at Jockey's Ridge. It is very windy up there, but Ryan was able to keep the kamikaze kite in the air for most of the day, despite its best efforts to dive bomb the dunes.
