2/11-14/22 Belhaven NC Came back specifically
to go to the Spoonbill Restaurant. It did not disappoint! We were able to meet
the owner and lovely servers who brought us our “free” dinner a year and a
half ago! Great night with delicious food, wine and atmosphere with my Valentine!
2/15/22 Alligator Marina
2/16-18/22 Edenton
NC Love finding old traditional
lighthouses, learning about the different types and a bit of history. The large
1886 Roanoke River Lighthouse was a residence as well. After 100 years of
surviving harsh weather, war and being transported 3 times, with much effort,
time and dedication to saving the lighthouse, this beauty was decommissioned in
1941 was moved to private land in Edenton. Unfortunately, it continued to
deteriorate until 2007-2010 when the Edenton Historical Society purchased and
restored it. The interior was restored in 2014. Had a lovely meal, oysters and
martinis’, right at the marina and many fun shops, beer garden and lovely
homes!
2/25-27/22
Manteo NC This is such a great walking
town with a wooden boat display, another beautiful lighthouse, and The Lost
Colony National Park.
2/23/22 Columbia NC Saw our first Nutria, large destructive rodent (swamp rat) grows to 25 inches long and 22 pounds!
2/19-22/22 Hertford NC Picturesque covered and swing bridge.
