We pull up to the Bermuda-esque condo complex in Kill Devil Hills after spending nearly an hour trying to find it. Guess which one our unit is: the hot pink one! Ellen and I were girlishly amused. The guys, not so much.



Bryan's shrimp andouille sausage penne pasta. Half-ass equipped kitchen? No problem: use the bottom of the broiler pan for a large skillet!



The Wright Brothers memorial on the hilltop, with a bronze tableau in the foreground.



Beach debris, Hatteras National Shoreline. I managed to find one unbroken sand dollar.



Bryan and Ellen in a bracing, cold breeze



Cape Hatteras Lighthouse



We were truly impressed by these surfers near Hatteras Lighthouse.



Ellen's Zwiebelkuchen she whipped up in the condo
