I didn't think I would like the beach, but I am a big fan of the outer banks once I saw all the charter boats, fishing stores, and waterfowl blinds out there. Now, I want to buy a vacation house down there so that I can vacation/hunt/fish down there without having to pay the insane amount of rent for a house for a week. Of course, on the weeks we do not use it we will be charging an insane amount for rent.

I probably wouldn't have picked the beach if I was picking the vacation, but I am sure there will be plenty of forays for the wife and I into the countryside.

Glad to hear that the kids slept the entire way down and back. I like leaving at night too so that I can avoid most of the traffic. Coming back from the Outer Banks we left at 5:30 in the morning and still hit a bunch of traffic between Virginia Beach and DC. God I hate the traffic around here. Speaking of which, I went to meet a client yesterday and left here at 2:45. Mind you, the drive only takes 40 minutes, but I didn't get there until 3:00 because of the traffic on 495.

By the way, most of you will not understand the traffic around here, but Petey lived in this area for a couple of years so I am sure he knows exactly what I am talking about.
