Russell and I went to a fabulous vacation spot the end of May — Cape Hatteras in North Carolina also known as the Outer Banks. We just loved it there and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for vacation ideas. We stayed in Avon which is one of the more remote towns on the island, but certainly not the remotest. It had plenty of shopping and good restaurants without being too touristy. The beaches weren’t crowded, but they were never totally without people either. One thing that we appreciated was how dog friendly the island was. We brought Cody to our dog-friendly cottage, and there were always a few others who brought their dogs on the beach (and yes, the beaches were very clean). Below are a few photos from our trip.





Here is Russell on the beach with Cody.

And Cody walking me!

Alas, we are on our way home, back over the bridge that brought us to our island!
