until tomorrow (fingers are crossed).
A little more info about the area:
The Crystal Coast is much calmer than the Outer Banks. Traffic is much lighter and life seems calmer. There are a lot fewer stores and restaurants.
We drove to the Northern end of the Island the other day- to Fort Macon. The Fort seemed similar to Fort Ontario.
We started up the boardwalk at the very end of the island but had to turn around because there was going to be a wedding. Pretty area and that day was very calm.
Yesterday we drove down to the other end of the island (it was less than a 30 minute drive) Most of the way there wasn't enough room for a road parallel to the main road- just houses and hotels on the main road or short roads off rt 58. Emerald Isle is at the southern end of the island and is larger, has roads in all directions and a bridge to the mainland. We didn't explore Emerald Isl
e (looks bigger than Atlantic Beach -Northern end of the Island- where we are) that trip- we had seafood to take back and cook.The resort is very nice and has lots of little sitting areas- some with playgrounds, and most have water features.
Our unit overlooks the indoor pool- glass walls around the pools; and we can see a very small square of ocean between the houses. (It's a five minute walk to the beach).
We're enjoying the beach and the calm ( I've finished 4 books already ;)).
