Vacation over

I spent the last week enjoying the living at Oak Island NC . Its not a big place I would say it resembles Front Royal more than it does Ocean City. Our home there is very small but comfortable. We spent most of our time at a beach on the very end of the island, the inland waterway dumps into the Atlantic there and creates a strong current when the tide is going out, this makes for some fun swimming with the current as it takes you along the edge of the beach at a surprisingly quick pace you can hike up the beach as far as you want and jump in for a quick ride back, a favorite with Dan. We also took a day trip to Myrtle Beach and took in the famous Alligator Adventure, I have never seen so many gators packed into such a small area, its kind of a walking tour on wooden pathways over gator infested waters. They have quite a veriety of gators including, Albino, Pigmy, and Yutan an 18 footer, They even had one with somekind of birth defect that has no tail which they call BOB. I read a couple of books including Shadow Divers which Steve reccomended and I thoroughly enjoyed. I usually do a lot of biking while there but a nagging back injury kept me off my bike. Now that I am home I seem to have recovered just in time for work. All in all it was quite relaxing. Quite an interesting spread of blogs appeared while I was gone. I was considering buying an old beater car for the beach untill I saw the amphibous models Missy intrduced me to, the idea of car and boat fits into my plan nicely but maybe cost prohibitive. I must admit I never really wondered about the spegetti thing.
