 Outer Banks Sunrise

For many years my entire family has gotten together for an annual Outer Banks beach vacation.  This year we were not able to get everybody's schedules to line up.  So it would just be Amy, Me, and my parents.  We rented a much smaller house in Duck, NC and only booked it for 4 nights instead of an entire week.

One thing that Amy always enjoys doing at the beach is flying kites.  We forgot to pack her kite this trip, but a $3.99 Minion Kite at the K-Mart came to the rescue!

Amy likes to sleep in when on Vacation.  However, I did not miss a sunrise on this trip!  This one was pretty spectacular!

We have been coming to the Outer Banks for over 20 years and have never gone beyond the end of the paved road north of Corolla to see the Wild Horses.  This year, Amy and I booked a Wild Horse Tour.

If you are ever on the Outer Banks, I would highly recommend taking one of these tours!  The rest of the afternoon was spent hanging out at the beach house!

Our rental house was located about a five minute walk from the beach and about a one minute walk from the Currituck Sound!  The sound side of the island is a great place to watch the Sunset!

After sunset, I headed on over to the beach for some night photography!  I love using the light of a full moon for night time beach shots!
