Anyone for the beach?

Today is part one of two sent in by Lynn Buck. Two parts because Lynn sent me so many great photos I have to use them all. Off we go with Lynn's explanation.

We took Libby on our trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina this past week.  She LOVED it!  Especially the water and hunting for fiddler crabs.

We stayed on Hatteras Island.  Hatteras is one of the main tourist attractions of the Outer Banks, next to where the Wright Brothers first made their flight in Kitty Hawk.

The Outer Banks is very undeveloped in many places.  The Cape Hatteras National Seashore is incredible.  We didn’t see maybe 50-60 people on the beach at any given time.  Most had their dogs with them, which the outer banks are the only NC beaches that allow dogs year round  Many of the hotels and rental houses are dog friendly.

Here, Libby is looking for her Boston Terrier friend she had made earlier.
Libby and I checking out the waves.  She loved the water, but when the waves would go back out, she would jump straight up in the air because of the sand pulling against her paws, lol.  She would go out about chest deep and also try to “eat” the foam from the water.
Attacking the foam and waves.
We visited the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.  It’s the tallest brick lighthouse in the nation.

    1. The Brindle would be deeply offended at even the suggestion that he get wet. He's delicate like that.

  3. Thank you, Maryann!

    We weren't sure what she would do, but she saw Michael go in and she just ran right in!! It wasn't until the waves went back out that she got concerned, lol

  4. I love the pics of her in the ocean. I can't stand on the sand once the water starts to go out cause I will get dizzy. Some say that is nothing new, I am dizzy anyway, LOL. Looks like a great time was had by all.
