2018-05-28 Jack and Amys Beach Vacation - Part 3

Jack and Amy's Beach Vacation Part 3
The Outer Banks of North Carolina
Duck, NC
May 28th, 29th, 30th, 2018
 


I managed to wake up before sunrise every day this vacation and today was no exception.  It was a bit foggy, but still a pleasant morning to stroll along the beach!











Duck, NC is an awesome little beach town.  Traffic can be a problem during peak summer months, but most of the time it is a very pleasant place to visit.  Amy and I took a stroll along the Duck Boardwalk and visited several of the local shops

Welcome to Duck.

The afternoon rains kicked in so not a whole lot of photo opportunities for the rest of the day.  I did try to squeeze in a few little walks whenever the rain let up a bit.

The rains continued into the next morning.  There was absolutely no sunrise, but I decided it would be a good morning to walk to the Duck Pier.  I am one of those people that actually prefer a cloudy and rainy day at the beach over a bright sunny day!

The rain let up later that morning, so I made another trip down to the beach with Amy.

We had a nice lunch in Duck with my parents, and then took them on a little stroll along the Duck Boardwalk!

Later that day, Amy and I made a pre-sunset trip down to the beach.

I really wasn't expecting much of a sunset becuase it was so cloudy, but decided to make the short walk over to the Currituck Sound side of the island.  There really was not any sunset, but immediately after sunset, the sky lit up with some beautiful color!

For our final morning at the beach we planned to scoot out early.  While packing up, I decided to take a few minutes and walk down to the beach for the final sunrise and photos from our 2018 Outer Banks Beach Vacation!

It was a very enjoyable few days at the beach!
