On the 4th of July, we departed Peoria for our two week vacation in North Carolina at The Outer Banks. We are meeting Kathleen's family and my parents for a family reunion and a stay at the beach.The drive from Peoria to the Outer Banks is 16 hours according to Mapquest which turned out to be accurate. We drove for two full days, staying over one night in West Virginia. After 16 hours and 1100 miles, the last 30 miles took us two additional hours because of beach traffic. All of the rentals turn over on Saturday afternoon, so it was stop and go traffic all the way (see the view above).
Ultimately, it was well worth the drive, as the house we have is very nice and the beach is just beautiful. Attached are a few shots of our first visit to the beach while Kathleen was out grocery shopping to stock the kitchen.
