I Still Don't Know What Croatoan Means.

We're all back from North Carolina. We didn't take our camera out that often, unfortunately, and I don't have any photos of the waves from the Nor'easter that were threatening to take the house down on our first day after we arrived at 4:00am. I would have posted about it from there, but the cable network got wet in the storm, so there was no way to get online.

Skye and I are on the beach right outside the house after eating turkey but before eating pie. The tide was coming in but the wind felt wonderful after being in the hot house all day. One of my favorite parts of the trip was going to Roanoke Island and visiting the museum and village there. The lost colony has fascinated me since we studied U.S. History in Mrs. Busco's fifth grade class.

Great picture! I should have asked you more about the trip at SnB last night.

Your trip sounds like fun! Roanoke Island has been on my "Places to Visit" since about 5th grade too.

Also, Nor'easter is my favorite weather termanology.

Hey there! Had to go back to an old post to find you. That's a beautiful photo!

My mom used to tell me that a Nor'easter comes to sweep up all the bad children and take them to Hell. Being a rather gullible child, on the occasions one came, it terrified me and I would run and hide. Thank the ancestors for my fifth grade science class. Now I enjoy Nor'easters. And I'm not as bad, as I was as a kid. :)

A great shot of you two. I am envious of your trip to Roanoke Island, as I have been fascinated with the history of it too.

Jealous of those awesome matching smiles before a busy churning ocean. I can feel the breeze if I close my eyes. Sigh.
