Yesterday was our last full day on the Outer Banks so we did our best to soak in our favorite activities: tennis, pickleball, lots of time in the pool for Miss M and her college friend, and lots of time at the beach for a Paul and I.

D split his time between pool and beach, and when we were in the water we saw a large crab and hundreds of jelly fish. At first we thought it was a piece of plastic floating in the water but then noticed several nearby. We bolted out of the water and learned from a fellow beach goer that the moon jellyfish are harmless. It was unnerving nonetheless and we couldn’t get comfortable going back in the water.

After watching the sunset, Miss M and I took the golf cart for a spin around the community to admire the large gorgeous homes, noting the creative names given to the beach houses and displayed on placards. Paul continued to work on a 2,000 piece puzzle, the girls played Scattergories while watching a movie and we made one last late night stop for ice cream.
