getaway part 1

Monday of last week, the family took a trip up to bryson city, nc to camp and do some whitewater rafting.
Here's a shot of a stream right next to our site.

At the River's End Restaurant we enjoyed a nice hearty breakfast before rafting.

We returned back home late Tuesday night and left for the Outer Banks at 3am on Thursday. We arrived around noon and stayed in the town of Waves. The beaches there were unbelievable. Dunes intact, no overcrowded beaches, just perfect.
Sorry folks, Myrtle Beach has nothing on this.

It's really quite amazing how being away refreshes you. Just taking a break from the stresses of work and the like. I came home with a great outlook on the next few weeks with classes starting and such. Vacations simply rock, not to mention the quality time with family.
I'll conclude tomorrow with part 2
