Well, the memories, we did come home with some good ones. Now the photos, well, I am disappointed to report that the ones that we came home with do not contain ANY lighthouses or horses.
That stupid weather system that blew through the area Friday night brought with it 30 knot winds and rough “seas” that kept all the ferryboats from running to the islands yesterday. The major disappointment was that the company that we booked our trip with didn’t have the courtesy to give us a call and tell us that they were not running yesterday. We found out after we had gotten up at 5:30 in the morning, gotten ready, packed a pick nick lunch and drove an hour, only to get bad news. Understanding that the weather was not the best (the ferry company can’t control the weather), the main issue I had was that they didn’t give us a cancellation call, especially after I had given him my number twice!
We did however see the light from across the sound, visit the visitor center, did lots of shopping and eating, visited Fort Macon and had a good time with our friends.
Not being able to get out to the cape, I can tell you that we will be making a return trip very soon, even if it is one of our infamous over night trips.
Thanks for the well wishes for our trip.
I guess the blank will still be there for a bit longer.
