Once we finalized the cabin sale, saying "Good-bye" to NC became real. We began to look back at what makes NC so 'special' and decided to return to our favorite NC vacation place; the Blue Heron Motel in Nags Head for a quick get-away. We have celebrated Thanksgivings, 2 Christmases, many anniversaries and Birthdays here over the 32 years of our marriage. It stays remarkably the same- -you have to mail a check to confirm your reservation and you get a key on a plastic room number tag on arrival. Each oceanfront room has a balcony with a fine ocean view.
We always eat at Sam and Omie's Restaurant. I had fantastic fishcakes and grits for breakfast. Terry had a huge seafood platter for lunch and we ordered take-out clam strips for supper. Oh, so fine! We love NC seafood.
Watching the sunrise, walks on the beach, a trip to Ben Franklin Beach Stuff store and a few long naps filled the rest of our day.
Don't miss a trip to Nags Head if you are in NC- a long way to go- but so worth it!
When we leave the cabin on June 15, we will head for Congress, AZ. Our new home base will be North Ranch SKP RV Park, a residential RV Park near Wickenburg, AZ. We will get a post office box there. Look for our new address in the next blog. We will be living full time in our Travel Trailer. Here's a photo of the Activity Center at North Ranch.
Needless to say, it is very hard to leave NC family and friends. I've promised to return each year. We will, however, be much closer to Terry's family, many of our 'camp host' friends and the places we love "out West". So "Westward Ho" it will soon be.
