A Good End to OBX

We spent today getting the hang of going to the laundromat (ugh), getting Sasha's nails done (canine pedicure?), and mailing a few letters. All well and good, and about all we could handle in the heat. Yesterday it was 97, felt like 115. Today it was a lot cooler, only 95, feels like 103.

In any case, we ended our stay in Kill Devil Hills with dinner at Sam and Omies. This local restaurant has been in business since 1937, serving local fishermen, tradespeople, and the occasional tourist. It continues to be a local hangout, as we saw a lot of "hi, Joe" and "How was your week, Debbie?" going around.

Donna started with a glass of Sweet Tea. She's addicted!

The two specials tonight were Prime Rib with Shrimp, mashed potatoes and greens. Yummy!

And Shrimp Jambalaya with Garlic Bread. Likewise yummy!

We.ve enjoyed our time here in the Outer Banks, but have been somewhat disappointed with the commercialism of the area. $7 Chocolate milkshakes, $10 lighthouse tours, and $5.00 a load laundromats are just a bit too much for us. We've met people from as far west as Ohio that have saved all year for a week in a condo with a narrow view of the beach between four other condo complexes. Well, I guess that's why Nessie has wheels. We'll be moving on tomorrow!
