The Tentacle: Nags Head Vacationing Past by Steven R. Berryman

Nags Head Vacationing Past

Steven R. Berryman

Forgetting politics and current events for a time, vacation is on my mind. One must only notice the missing traffic from Interstate 270 southbound in the mornings to fully realize this!

North Carolina beach towns have more Maryland license tags than does the City of Frederick right about now, and I just laugh at current vacation strategy, and shake my head.

The golden strand of barrier islands from Kitty Hawk, to Kill Devil Hills, to Nags Head has entire communities of “beach houses,” two to three thousand square feet or more in size.

Morning rain in Nags Head, North Carolina

Morning rain in Nags Head, North Carolina

July 24, 2009

I was awakened a little after 6 AM this morning by yet another in a series of week-long thunderstorms on the Outer Banks, North Carolina.

The storm passed quickly enough and the balance of the day has been interspersed with periods of bright sunshine. I have been told that the beach has been crowded.

At the moment another thunderstorm is passing through. The photos above were taken around 6:25 AM.

Grandy Greenhouse and Farm Market

Grandy Greenhouse and Farm Market July 19, 2009
One of the many rituals, in which our family participates as we approach the Outer Banks, is to stop at Grandy Greenhouse and Farm Market on Highway 158, in Grandy, NC.
It is a family-owned and family friendly business. The sales help is always friendly and helpful – and the place is fun.
And there are always many great pictures there, just waiting to be had.

Aunt Betty fishing, 91, fishing underneath the Washington Baum Bridge on Roanoke Island

Aunt Betty fishing

July 22, 2009 by Kevin Dayhoff (Click here for a larger image.)

Aunt Betty, 91, is shown here fishing underneath the Washington Baum Bridge on Roanoke Island on the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

Aunty Betty Judd, Chaperon Emeritus, who is also known as “sis,” “Mom,” or simply “AB;” shared that when she was young she has fond memories of going fishing in a stream with stick, string and a safety pin. She further elaborated that she once caught a fish that was so small that “not even the cat would eat it.”

Aunt Betty is well known for her fishing prowess. Over the years, she has been reported to have fished throughout the great American West; near Seattle Washington State on the west coast with Bobbi and Tedd; and throughout the east coast. As this report goes to press, it is not known if she had also taken the opportunity to go fishing in Alaska with family members.

Aunt Betty appeared to be enjoying herself, while she is reportedly vacationing with family on the Outer Banks - away from the usual hordes of roving reporters and their vapid questions.

Perhaps more importantly she seems to have escaped the flock of omnipresent paparazzi, which is always nearby shouting questions with the accompanying cacophony of clicking shutters.

After this reporter approached her with a few questions, she was whisked away to an awaiting van by an entourage of folks who appeared to have gone parasailing. Questions as to whether Aunt Betty also went parasailing were left unanswered and floating with the seagulls as she responded with a simple, enigmatic “Oh, whatever.”

It was overheard that Aunt Betty wanted to get back to her spacious palatial resort house by the beach, with its own zip code, and prop up her feet and have a Guinness and watch the Tour de France.

If you will recall, rumors continue to link Aunt Betty as a former love-interest of Lance Armstrong.

A hulking young man with fishing tackle and cigar dangling from his mouth, stood by patiently, as she gathered herself together. It is not known if he had accompanied her to the popular fishing spot underneath the Washington Baum Bridge or not.

No word as to how much luck she had today, but she was all smiles when this picture was snapped.

Kevin Dayhoff filed this report from the field.

I found these at the Grandy Greenhouse and Farm Market in Grandy, NC, as one approaches the Outer Banks.

The number of practical applications for such a product are only limited by an avid imagination…
