Yearning to Return

It has been less than 2 weeks since we returned from our vacation in Corolla, North Carolina and I’m already to go back. I love that place.

We spent most of our time there lying around the pool and going down to the beach to play in the Atlantic. The ocean water was very cold, but the surf was really high on a couple of days and we had a great time playing in the waves.
Christie was in charge of cooking meals for all of us and she did a great job. We’re talking serous feasting here. Steaks, shrimp, kabobs, homemade pizza to name a few of the delicious treats we enjoyed.


On most evenings us guys would walk down to the beach to watch the ocean at night. Since we were quite a way from the big city lights, the number of stars we saw was amazing. We even managed to see a large bluish-green object streak across the sky one night. At first we thought it was someone shooting off fireworks, but we later realized it was either a meteor or a piece of space junk entering the atmosphere.

The weather was absolutely great. It didn’t rain the whole week except for a brief thunderstorm on Friday afternoon.

On the way home from Corolla, we stopped in Hershey, Pennsylvania to visit Hersheypark. We had a great time there as well.

Overall, it was a wonderful relaxing vacation. Can’t wait for the next one………
