First week in August means just one thing to me: VACATION. And more specifically, the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We always stay in Corolla, which is at the northernmost part of the islands, less touristy, more relaxed, and pretty much heaven.
We arrived yesterday afternoon after a longer than normal drive, due to inclement weather and a huge amount of traffic. The best part of the drive is the stop at Sonic. Sonic, one of the greatest fast-food chains in America, and one of the very few that I trust. The only problem is there is not one single Sonic within an hour or two of my home in Maryland. I guess this might be one of the reasons it is so special, because I can only have it once a year when at the beach. The burgers and shakes brought straight out to the parked car, like an old drive in diner (I'm assuming, since I don't go back that far). And the shakes... amazing!
Anyways, we arrived at the beach in the afternoon. Yay!!! Unpacking followed, as well the first trip to the beach. The water was calm and perfect, the heat was pretty bad, the sun unbearable and the flies biting hard. Perfect! Sort of.
And for dinner we had Carolina BBQ from this cute little bbq shack and this cute little beach village. Its a yearly tradition to start the week with this yummy food, followed by continued stops throughout the week. Pulled pork, whole barbecued chicken, sauces, slaw and potato salad. Delicious. Nothing like it!
