The only thing better than watching the sun rise from my very own personal deck chair was watching a few of the surfers trying their hand at photography. As you can see below, getting just the right angle on a sunrise shot requires sand crunches. Reminds me of Daddy shooting Seniors. But with longer, blonder hair.
My home by the sea was this lovely little motel, the Sea Foam. Other than the sign it doesn't look like much, but it came with a dose of hospitality that was much appreciated. Most of the guests were there for the season, so watching the sun rise was almost like a family gathering.
Elsewhere on the Outer banks there are other activities to participate in. The Bodie Island Lighthouse is currently owned by the National Parks Service. I had hoped to get a closer look at it, but the second I stepped out of the parking lot I was attacked by mosquitoes. And I don't mean like a couple of bites, I'm talking a whole giant swarm of mosquitoes. I had to run around in circles swatting and waving to get them to dissipate. Other park visitors seemed worried (more about me than the mosquitoes I think).
