Outer Banks

It's already been nearly two weeks since our mini-vacation to the Outer Banks, and it already feels like two months. The weekend was full of overly indulgent  breakfasts, fresh shrimp, alcohol, fishing, beach time, awkward conversations with wedding guests a decade younger than us, and early bedtimes. It was also full of Sirius XM radio swaps, where we changed the channel repeatedly between 80s new wave and indie alternative hits.

It was nice to have that uninterrupted time with only minimal work for the husband. And I am so ready to go back. I feel unusually drained now, even for me. True, it's humid and hot right now (not middle of the summer hot and humid,but just uncomfortable). But it seems forever since a vacation. Though the Outer Banks and Hatteras was good for a four day respite.
