If the hurricanes don't get you...

... the accommodations will. A less than stellar trip was taken to the Outer Banks, NC recently - our first family vacation. There was some fun to be had - a few memorable moments were even captured. This kid's got some grip!


Due to the accommodations at BARRIER ISLAND STATION at DUCK, we could not in good conscience stay any longer (1 night of a total 6 nights planned). The mold was unbelievable - growing out of the air vents and throughout the shower. It was even in some of the drawers. The accommodations were a timeshare swap through RCI, and we've had some great experiences otherwise. The conditions eventually wore us down.






Finally, we could take no more.


Disclaimer: this is just an unfortunate picture - Sonny's health was never comprimised!

From there, we traveled north - determined to salvage our week! We drove up through Delaware and took the ferry from Lewes to Cape May, NJ.



We checked into Congress Hall in Cape May and all was perfect - walks along the boardwalk, strolls through town, outdoor dining, hotel pool, scoped out some investment properties, and most importantly slept in a clean and comfortable room! Sonny couldn't have been more pleased, and neither could Mom & Dad.











All in all, not a terrible vacation at all. Sonny learned that you need to be adaptable and make the best of your situation. If it's altogether unacceptable, change it.
