An Outer Banks Thanksgiving Getaway

Monday, January 18, 2010

This week on Everything Outer Banks brings us back to our Memory Monday photo contest, and this week’s submission is a classic. The photo submission this week comes to us from Carol Bissell of Suffolk, Virginia. This pictures is of Carol’s 6 beautiful grandchildren. Their names are left to right, Grayson Goodwin, age 7, Evan Carver, 19, Nathan Carver, 10, Lacey Carver, 14, holding Coen Shafer, 15 months and in front is Graham Shafer, 4.

Carol tells us “We all have been coming to the Outer Banks for years. We love it at all times of the year. I especially like the north end. My parents actually had a home in Kitty Hawk when I was younger.

We celebrated Thanksgiving 2009 here with our family of 14. We stayed at the Corolla vacation rental named "Sanctuary" and it was perfect for our group. We even were privileged to see the deer early in the morning on the dunes. I have seen horses many times, but never deer. What fun! We brought our 2 Bischons pups and loved meeting other dog owners on the beach. It was warm enough to spend some part of every day beach walking. I have many pictures to share, but thought I would send the picture of "my favorite" people in the world.

We like to cook, go out to dinner, lounge in the hot tub and take lots of beach walks. The young people like to play their videos of course and dig and play in the sand. We would like to spend some time there every year.”

Thanks to Carol and her wonderful grandchildren who posed so nicely on a beautiful day at the beach in Corolla!
