We had a wonderful weekend while staying at the National Park Service's Ocracoke campground. There was plenty of opportunity to take it easy and play in the ocean for the two days we were there. We also got to drive around the southernmost tip of the island to the sound side and walked across the sand bars.
The kids had a wonderful time.
So did the dog, mostly.
Fresh seafood is easily available. Can't beat dining on barbecued seafood by the ocean listening to the sound of the waves.
Too bad we woke up in the middle of a river on Monday morning
We had a visit from a squall on Monday morning and one of the pole nearly snapped. Our tent site happened to be in the drainage field and the tent floor quickly floated although only a little water managed to get in. The kids took it all in stride.
It was a wonderful mini-vacation. We'll definitely go back there often.
