The Beach (and Brewery)

We're just relaxing and enjoying the beach.

Sunday night Thunderstorms went through- we spent a couple hours just watching the lightning over the ocean.

Monday the ocean was really green- I tried to get a picture but the colors didn't come out. I did get a picture of Bob in the new chair- now he'll stay at the beach with me :)

Tuesday we went to the Weeping Radish. Bob always talks about his Irish heritage but he also has a good bit of German mixed in. The 1st time we came to the Outer Banks we saw an ad (and coupons) for a German Restaurant and brewery. We went there, Bob fell in love and we've gone there at least once a trip and dragged everyone else with us. They have good beer (I'm told) and good food. They've moved- they're now on the mainland before we cross the bridge to the Outer Banks. They're now a farm brewery and also sell meat- all healthy, etc. They have their own German butcher (they used to get the sausage from NYC). Bob had some sausage yesterday and liked it enough to buy some. Our waitress (we had stopped on our way Saturday for lunch and went back Tuesday because she was on again) felt bad that I didn't like any of the beer so she said they were making lemonade also did I want to try that- it was pretty good, then she brought me something else to try- Radler- it's half hard lemonade and half wheat beer- and really good. Tuesday she was really busy when we got there so the bartender came over to get our drink order and what he brought me wasn't the same and she came right over and fixed it. So now there's a beer I like (it doesn't taste like beer). It will be interesting to see how the restaurant and brewery change as they get established in the new spot.
