Sunday in the Outer Banks ...

On Sunday we were all happy about the 

St Patricks Day parade

a very fun event in the OBX

we look out the window and whoa, it's snowing!!

just very small, delicate snowflakes falling

couldn't even capture it good in a picture

Johnny went out and got us some breakfast biscuits

and we all put our "green" on....except it was so

dang cold we had to wear our big coats which

covered up our green shirts. We had beads and scarves

so we were still representing the Irish!!

we headed over early to get a parking spot and

then just hung out in the car until it was almost time 

to go out in the cold

Lynne and Bucky waiting for the parade to start

 the cold def kept the crowd size down. This is usually 
3 to 4 people deep. Looking down Beach Rd it did
look like a lot more people

afterward we headed over to Mulligans for some lunch
Really wanted to go to the Kelly's after party but we had been out
in the cold too long....

Jacquelyn and I trying to stay warm

so glad I brought my snow boots!!

sure kept my feet warm

Declan went swimming at the indoor pool a 

couple of nights

I know, my pictures are way out of order but oh well

this is cute, Avery Grace was putting Johnny's glasses on him

but once on, she would take them off, try them on 

and then do it all over again. She was having fun

Lynne and I having a cold beer at Mulligans

after being outside freezing....haha

Johnny was freezing.....he should have worn his

big coat!

after going back to the hotel, Jacquelyn and I left

to go check out the new Home Goods that had just opened

on Sunday. So many pretty things!!

I found 2 pictures to hang in our guest room

While there I heard my name and turned to a woman I did not
really recognize. But she recognized me and I'm so glad she did!
we have a lot of mutual friends, her brother was best friends
with our brother-in-law Tommy. They recently retired and moved
to the OBX just like Johnny and I plan to do. So we've been chatting
online about it a lot and I was so happy to meet Janet in person.
I already have my first friend for retirement!

then after Home Goods, being really crazy, we went back out to the beach

this time we went up in Kitty Hawk trying to find some

good shell beds to find some sea glass but it was high

tide so not a good time to look plus it was way too cold!!

We stayed in Sunday night and ordered Dare Devil pizza

YUMMM

later.....
