Outer Banks

Two days of rain and wind left us with a bit of cabin fever, so when Sunday morning showed clear skies the unanimous decision was a quick trip to the outer banks.

Just a few miles down the road was a short cut - the ferry across the Neuse River. Thoughtfully provided by the State of North Carolina for the affordable price of zero, the ferry deposited us at Cherry Point after a 15 minute crossing.

We did a quick reconnoiter of Beaufort and Morehead City then headed to Atlantic Beach. As followers of this blog know I am wont to stop at historic forts. Fort Macon was a siren call to me. De Anne, as always, indulged me. It was our lucky day! It was cannon firing day!

 A trip across the dunes then I took her back to Beaufort where we walked the waterfront, and enjoyed lunch on a balcony overlooking the Sound.
