Headed to the Outer Banks of NC

We left Friday, Sept. 11th, shortly after attending the Grandparent's Day celebration at Toby's preschool class. In attendance are Glenn, Lucky, Sparkle (our new puppy), and me. The dogs were pretty good in the RV considering that Lucky is not too crazy about his new little sister and there isn't a lot of room in the RV to get away from her. Sparkle was really good about letting us know when she had to potty...unfortunately it was about every hour. But we managed to pull over as needed and luckily she zipped out, did her business quickly, and jumped back in. If she needed to do more she refused to get back in. She's pretty smart for a baby in my opinion!
We made it inside of Virginia and had a Walmart lot picked out for our first night's stay...only the best accomodations for us! The Walmart was fairly well hidden, so we passed by it before we saw it. Glenn drove down the road a bit and turned down a side street to turn around and go back. Whoops....dead end! Can't back up when you are towing the jeep! So there it was, after 10pm, very dark, and he is out unhooking the jeep. A very nice man with very bushy eyebrows came out of his house and offered help...Glenn politely turned him down. In the meantime, I took advantage of the lull in driving to potty Sparkle so we are out with the leash trying to help him out in the dark. He got the jeep unhooked and I got to drive it to Walmart. He had to back out onto a fairly busy road in the RV but did it with ease. We got to our destination ok and then had to hook the jeep back up. He didn't lose it like I thought he might!
Yesterday morning we got up and hit the road. Todd had called and said he was meeting us here, so we didn't dawdle much. He arrived at the campground before us and hung on the beach until we got here.
We got here around 4 I think and got everything set very quickly. We spent the rest of the day and evening on the beach. Lovely.
Today we got up and had coffee on the beach....just love that! We had breakfast and headed back out for the afternoon. There is a perfect combination of wind and sun here that makes it absolutely beautiful sitting out there. We took the dogs out a few times. Sparkle is very sociable and attracted a lot of attention. Both her and Lucky HATE the ocean water!!!!
We had dinner and Todd left at 5 to return to DC. It was great to have him here. Glenn and I took a ride on the scooter and looked at some other campgrounds to head to after we leave here. Tomorrow we will go in the jeep and look at some national parks.
It's been so many years since we were here. It reminds us a lot of the keys.
More later!
