My daughter and I have been visiting Mr. Malco’s strawberry patch just across the Wright Memorial Bridge in Currittuck for the past 11 years. (That’s just off the Outer Banks for our visitors.) We have never been disappointed, although we may have out done ourselves this year, since, if I’m doing my math ...

I was wondering what to write about--seemed like there was just the usual background noise to spring on the Outer Banks--and then I went to the First Flight High School Fine Arts Concert held in Kill Devil Hills last night.

Out with the old and in with the new--if ever that saying rang true it’s what has happened at Wee Winks Plaza in Duck

I suppose it would havebeen nice if the old Wee Winks could have been saved, but after a ...

One of the best things about the Outer Banks is how many great restaurants there are. Way out of proportion to the population. Heck--way out of proportion to the summertime population, for that matter.

OK…maybe sometimes in ...

The Outer Banks weather has finally cooperated for Bike Week, and the bikers are out in force. It was beautiful day today--weather in the mid 60s, a breeze--not a wind--from the NNE and not a cloud in the sky.

The sun is out the birds are chirping and thank goodness the rain is holding off for a day or so here on the Outer Banks. There’s not a cloud in the sky right now--although it looks like it’s a break before the next set of cloudiness rolls in.

This has been an incredible weekend on the Outer Banks. The weather didn’t cooperate as much as we would have liked, but other than that, it was about as good a weekend as  anyone could hope for. Lot’s to do and what there was covered a wide range of activities with something geared to ...

That image is actually pretty accurate--the lighthouses were designed to tower over their surroundings and for good reason. At night each lighthouse flashes with a different pattern; during the day, ...

Dowdy’s Amusement Park in Nags Head was a gem of little amusement park that was perfect for an evening of fun with kids. Admittedly it was a bit shop worn and some of the rides looked like they could have used a bit more maintenance, but the fact is, it was ...

Now that the weather is officially improving, and spring is really and truly officially here, the event calendar is filling up.  

We can’t talk about everything, but here are a few highlights that may get ...

The sun came out yesterday, the temperatures warmed nicely and there was a wonderful breeze--all of it creating a perfect day to fly a kite. If there is a better place than the Outer Banks to fly a kite anywhere, it would be hard to imagine.

Everyone has a favorite spot for kite flying on the Outer Banks. ...

Spring time at last on the Outer Banks! OK--maybe not a balmy spring day, but at least the sun is out and the temperatures are climbing holding steady above 50 degrees. Of course this is Easter Weekend meaning springtime is officially here, regardless of what the calendar or outside temperature may say.
