One of my buddies and a frequent reader of this blog sent in the following information regarding a recent vacation he took to the Outerbanks in North Carolina. I thought that I would share it with you in case any of you wanted firsthand knowledge of what the area was like to a vacationer from New Jersey:

The Outerbanks of North Carolina is definitely where it is at. Beautiful weather all week, the ocean has been relatively calm. The sun, ah, absolutely beautiful. i have gotten quite the tan down here. My girl’s family has something kind of like a timeshare down here. This is my second time down here, and i can not imagine a more beautiful place to vacation. As a matter of fact, i am pretty sure that if god were to take a vacation, this is the spot he would pick, lol. Not sure if u would like to pass this on to your vast readership, but i figured what the hell. Just want to to know that all is well, and my little girl has been having a ball in the ocean, she has only been pummeled by the waves once…

Thanks, Mike, for sending this information in for everyone. Hopefully, it will help someone make their decision to go down to OBX!
