and a busy day starting with a visit to a National Monument to the pair that started what turned out to be my profession!!
and touring of course generates a thirst so we found a place to take care of that and eat (nothing overly special, beer was good)
And the whole point of the trip was to finally celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, and the FOJ's prepared a little surprise for us before dinner..
The glasses contained a lovely inscription and eventually contained the Morgan Pinot which was very tasty along with the soppressata and bleu cheese
After enjoying the celebration with the family (plus MFO's sister MFOS) we drove down through Buxton to Hatteras for dinner at
which was very reminiscent of our own Dry Dock back home
and had very good food including a nice Oyster Rockefeller appetizer
all of the dishes we had were very good... A long story, but FOJTY's wife found out that the bartender was a friend of somebody they met at a hunt trial for Stanley, which is how we found out about Dinky's, so she introduced herself and he was very glad to meet us. And, since it was a special evening, i broke my standard drink regimen and had Steve make a Sazerac. it was darn good.
Anyway that was a day in the life on the OBX and we finally have sun!
and speaking of Stanley (our granddog), he was one of the group.. much fun
and believe me, he was ALWAYS
