Finally got the photos from our Easter Ocracoke weekend uploaded....here is the gang for an impromtu photo at one of our favorite hangouts....the Pelican.
Then here is a "better" shot - only problem with this one is that Buddy is somehow missing! Different dog visible also....that's one of the neat things about Ocracoke - it's very pet-friendly. Lot's of the places have areas/tables that you can take the pups.
This little bar, the Pelican, has the usual "ring toss" game, darts, and Friday night this fellow named Jamie sings. He usually has Mark, the harmonica player with him (you can see him in the background). Sometimes, he has people join him to sing - like one of the Greatful Dead singers! This lady (don't know her name) was obviously very professional - lovely voice. It's a great time- we've been there 5 or 6 times now....
As you might recall, it was a COOOOLLDDDD Easter! We bundled up and road our bikes a good bit. Pat and Diane had driven down (we flew with Buddy and Sharon), so we had their mini-van for several late-night dinners.
This is a pic of me and A.D. waiting outside a little trinket shop. Somehow, the shop owners don't want your pets inside......
And here's Pat under the table with A.D. It was obviously a good time!

That looks like a lot of fun - I have very fond memories of Okracoke - is Black Beard's Inn still there - that's where we stayed the last time we were there - we used to ride our bikes everywhere there - but we never took our 2 big labs - dogs sort of ruin a vacation for the Man...
Love,

Yes, Blackbeard's is still there. We have stayed there once - Sharon and Buddy have stayed there numerous times (they have a few rooms where they allow pets.) It was nice enough, but the walls were paper thin - so much so that you really could hear the people in the next room talking. There are much nicer places to stay now, so we probably won't go back there.
Yes, the dogs make it a different kind of vacation. And the big dogs would probably make it worse....
Love, K
