OBX 2008
OK!...we've been here for 1:20, and I'm on my 3rd Yuengling Lager. I've discovered that they have a free WAN. Excellent.
I'm ready to beat the kids already, and have already languished briefly in the pool after working up a quick sweat unloading the Jeep. All clean and showered, and rarin to go. this first day of vacation is always the best. that dreaded check out day is far enough away that i aint skeered of it.....the 8 hour ride down is behind us....I have food, beer and other distractions. we'll be doing a video tour for y'all and some pics of this and that. I'll have more time to stir up the cellar this week, so be warned. seriously...i have some axes to grind. just kidding......no really. |

Go drive on the beach

Our place in 9.5 miles up the beach this year, highish tide when we got here.

Did you have to pay extra to get that awesome moon view? Looks like a great place to be!
|
Jinx has arranged for all tropical bad weather to divert to the Gulf of Mexico for the next week.
Yeah, she can do that. ;) |
That's where we plan to go next year. Tips and advice welcome. Have a wonderful time!!!
|

Easy on that bar stool big guy
Looks like you guys are in for a fun time :thumb2: |
Look fantastic guys, have fun!
|
Wow - looks amazing. Here's to long long sunny days for you.
Brings back memories of our beach holidays. Except we stayed in a tiny caravan. Oh and all but one of them were during record weeks of rain. Still, the memories of that one magical week stay with me! It was proper serendipity - Mum & Dad had booked into a tiny caravan park because they just couldn't afford anything else that year. The facilities on site were... A Games Room. Which was a musty lean-to with a Pac Man and a Space Invaders. The nearest shop and playground were half a mile down the road. BUT it was right on a glorious, sandy and empty beach. That particular week it was sunshine from sun-up to sundown and we ran and dug and chased and paddled to our heart's content, and only occasionally whined for ice-creams. Magic. The next year we were back at the all singing all dancing camp and it pissed down as usual! Take lots of pics and have a fantastic time. |
Gorgeous pictures, so far. Hope you all have a great time!
|
Ok where are they? I still don't know. For a minute it looked like they were in a time share of my parents, which scared the hell out of me, but I'm over it.
Nice moon.....veeery pretty. Say would you guys like a puppy to go with all that fun? *blink* *blink* |
They're at OBX.
|
Yeah, the view and the weather are gorgeous. I've never seen the beach as crowded as it was today. The horses didn't seem to mind.

I love the bit when she's made you run behind the car and you're panting.
Started my Monday morning off with a good giggle. |

...but i appreciate the sentiment.......now.....when you're watching the next video I put up, (in which I appear topless, and jinx is seen running with a bikini on....) i want to know how THAT makes you feel! |
OMG Sharks!
|
They're dolphin. :p
Actually they are porpoises. |
The fisherman in the first pic is lookin the wrong way. Quick tell him to turn around. Lest of course he is trying to catch a pony.

Wow - what an amazing place to spend your holiday.
Thanks for the comprehensive tour - I notice you have plenty of room for an English house-guest... |
That was cool LJ thanks for sharing!
|
@2:42.. upside-down sailboat?
|
so...it's a really long video...but it you have 6 seconds.....
here's the best part of it: the quality is better in the full length version....but you get the gist |
Nice and all, but not my favourite bit ;)

You guys ever watch the show Jon & Kate Plus Eight? They had an episode on a vacation they took out at OBX, and that house looks exactly like the one they stayed in. But like you said, maybe they all look the same.
|
Hey LJ...youre kinda looking buff n stuff. More pics....of both of you.
Jinx - what were you holding when you were running? |
Just my ipod and tangled earbuds Ducks.
Rainy day today so we drove like 90 miles down the islands to see and climb the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, passing the Bodie Island lighthouse (and also the Currituck because we're about 12 miles north of it) along the way. Anyway Hatteras http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL162.../334841076.jpg Bodie http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL162.../334840950.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL162.../334840826.jpg |
That gull thought you were taking his picture.
|
Verry Cool !!!
Loves The house tour !!! |
Ok, Im a horsey chick, but...why are the horses hanging round the beach?
It looks awesome and they are beautiful, but I dont get it. |
Actually they are unicorns who are intimidated by the red bull in LJ's cooler.
Nice place, LJ. |

We weren't allowed out on the balcony of Hatteras Light because the wind was blowing to hard (46mph), but I took this thru the doorway...

Oh man. Great pictures. Especially the moon. And that beachhouse kitchen is frickin' great. I'm a bit jealous, man. Hope all's well, seems so! :cool:
|
I love your vacation! Thanks for taking me with you thru the cellar door! :)
|
Nice video guys - thanks for sharing it. I was there, at the OBX, not that particular house, a few years ago. I think my kids were about the same age as yours... it brought back some fond memories.

in the dwellar nfsw thread....just took them today.....for the cellar ladies...lol |
Sounds like you all had fun. I can't see any of the pics or video if they are not on Image shack or flkr or picasa so I will check them out in the next day or so.
|
I took a lot of footage at the beach, but the wind was reallllly blowin'
....so it was like.." whoooooochlabllicccggggchhaaaahhhhhwwhooooooo!" the whole friggin time... so I got a shade creative with it: |
OMG. I can't believe I'd been ignoring this thread becasue I didn't know what OBX was. What a dope. Can't wait to see more, it looks so awesome. Thanks!!!
|
I only knew because we have friends who moved to Jersey for a while. It's a popular summer destination if you live out that way.
|
Damnit Jimbo. I've got Premiere and Soundforge on this machine, and you're making me want to dust them off. Something ephemeral about the oceanside, even if you're there for awhile. And you're capturing that fleeting feeling quite well with that one. Well done.
|
Whats the music from? It was fantastic with your editing.
|
that was 'Up the Beach'
-Jane's Addiction...with a lead in from Castles made of Sand by Hendrix check this one out...... Ocean Size ...also Jane's Addiction |
Verry Good Jim !!!
|
Oh I love that song! Awesome!
|
I couldn't understand a word in the song, but nice editing on the video. Thanks!
|
Wonderful! I feel like I'm with you guys. Great video.
Psst, don't look over that dune. |
