The Beach

Let's please not talk about apartment searching in SF. Let's talk about the beach last week.
If you've ever been to the outer banks of north carolina you will agree with me on this: it's the best place. ever. and don't try to tell me california beaches are better. they are cold. they are crowded. the water here was like a warm bath thanks to the gulf stream off shore.



baby hank's cousin, gigi. don't even try to tell me you have a cuter niece. you lie.

i recently found your blog, and i think it's great. i'm a utahn as well. born and raised in salt lake city, but have lived in raleigh nc for the past four years. and i have still never been to the outer banks yet! just topsail island, which was beautiful. but i agree, the coastline is wonderful here. do you live in nc now? and are moving to cali? good luck. moving across the country is hard.

I will never forget our brief trip to the NC beaches-- I had no idea they were so wonderful! Perfect, white sand, warm water, long grass blowing in the wind. Heaven. {Hope house hunting in SF goes painlessly!}

In August I'm spending a week at the beach with Brooke and then heading straight to outer banks the next week. I'm excited to compare!

I loved looking at your pictures...back in August, 1975, I spent my honeymoon on the Outer Banks with Gary (well of course Gary) and we've lasted 34 years. Good place to get it all started.....He grew up there.. in Durham. Did you ever go to Spencer's Grotto to eat? Sorry to hear you moved away...

I just found your blog. I love it! I live just outside of SF. Don't worry...you will learn to love it here! Things are just shifted a little bit. We always have an Indian Summer. Santa Cruz in September is fabulous! Plus, if you get out of the city a little bit during the summer it is much warmer. Good luck with the house search and move!
