Ocracoke, NC

Last weekend we had the pleasure of going to Ocracoke, NC for our good friends' (Charles and Amy) wedding. We had heard the outer banks were beautiful and we were not disappointed!

In order to get to Ocracoke, we had to ride a 40 minute ferry. Doc was not a fan...

Our Ferry's name was Roanoke..how ironic!


The first night we had dinner by the boat dock and timed it just right to watch the sun set. It was a great way to begin our weekend!

We stayed in the Blackbeard Inn. Blackbeard was a pirate who supposedly shipwrecked right off the island of Ocracoke. They actually just found a anchor they think belonged to his boat! We thought we needed a picture with him before the wedding =)

The wedding was held at the lighthouse...it was such a neat place!




Dinner after the wedding... YUMMY (and beautiful)!

One day we took Doc for his first beach experience. He is not a water lover so it took some coaxing to get him interested but he warmed up to the idea quickly and had lots of fun. Unfortunaly, he drank too much salt water (can you say bad parents?!) and the result was not pretty... lesson learned






His favorite part of the beach was the sand. From previous post, it is apparent how much Doc loves snow...we think he thought the sand was just warm snow =)


Goodbye Ocracoke...
