Life at Golden Pines: A Women Seashore Weekend

Sure, I’ve actually been lacking in motion. Every week in the past at the moment, I used to be beginning my day watching the dawn over the ocean. Seeing the day start made me much more grateful for a form good friend who invited 7 of us for a *ladies weekend* at her stunning seaside home within the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

The home (with its 8 bedrooms and seven baths) is rented all through the summer time, however our good friend and her husband make it their residence from September to about Might. So many properties like this are solely rental properties. So, how good for them that they get to take pleasure in this stunning and comfy residence with its ocean views, and the way good that we obtained to take pleasure in it too.

We had been handled to the perfect of climate, and a visit to close by Cape Hatteras to see the lighthouse that was given its well-known black and white stripe daymark sample in 1873. The Lighthouse Board assigned every lighthouse a particular paint sample (daymark) and light-weight sequence (nightmark) to permit mariners to acknowledge it from all others through the day and evening as they sailed alongside the coast. (Who knew?) 

On one other day we went to Rodanthe Pier to take pleasure in one more ocean view. The climate was calling for clouds and rain, that definitely was not what we had. 

`

Truthfully, I simply could not get sufficient of the ocean views. I took so many photos with each my telephone and digital camera.  

The weekend was really a whirlwind of enjoyable. There was loads of nice meals, nice conversations and being spent with buddies, it couldn’t have been any higher, even when it had rained. However I am glad that it did not! 

**Photograph under is our final evening – dinner and a present watching the kite-surfers at sundown on Pamlico Sound. 

Lastly …. Leaving Hatteras Island. That is why in a hurricane the island will get minimize off, as a result of the ocean is on the opposite aspect of the dunes. You’ll be able to even see in a single photograph the place a wave or two got here excessive. 

The canines had been all in good spirits after I obtained residence. However I used to be so drained and was glad that I took an additional couple of days trip to relaxation up from this little trip.
