OBX: The Director's Cut (Starring Bill Murray)

While all of our entries have been recounts of actual trip events, Paul and I do enjoy being creative once in a while.  One day at work, we decided to come up with a "Travel Log" of a potential alternative chain of events for an OBX trip.  Hopefully, one day, this will actually happen.



    day 1: awesome

    day 242: still awesome
    day 313: still awesome, kinda drunk.
    day 452: still awesome, really drunk, saw dolphin.

OBX: The First Love

As you could probably tell by our earlier entries, we have an abnormal obsession with the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and just thinking about it gives me the same butterflies that a very pretty girl does. 

It was my first real road trip and didn't really know what to expect.  I volunteered to drive the midnight shift because I am always staying up late, so I drove from 11pm to around 5 am because I was getting tired, and sticking to the rules of the road, I used my communication skills to let people know I wanted to switch. 

It took us 21 hours to get to our house (partially because of a two and a half hour stop in the Pennsylvania mountains due to a accident and partially because of cranky people and Nathan having to come back to pick Tom and I up because for some reason we thought we could walk faster than the "beach traffic") but we quickly realized that it was worth the wait.  However the first night was spent eating Dominoes Pizza and trying to get some rest for the week ahead.
