We made our annual trip to the Outer Banks for the long Labor Day weekend. We took our Jeep out on the beach where you can find a place to relax away from the crowds. We really like that a lot.

We picked a new campground this year that is a couple of miles north of Hatteras Island. Our campsite is right on the bay. We've already reserved the site for next year.

By having our campsite right on the bay we have a front row seat for the sunsets. There is no better way to end a day at the beach than to sit down with a beverage, start the campfire, and watch the sun go down. We generally delay dinner until dark so we don't miss anything.

Left and Center: On the Ferry from Hatteras Island to Ocracoke Island. It's a great ride. We take our tandem bike to ride around Ocracoke Village. Right, at the outskirts to Ocracoke Village pedestrians have the right of way.

We're on the beach on Hatteras Island. We take the Jeep and drive a ways to get away from the crowds. It is so peaceful invigorating!
