The wife and i’s 5th year anniversary is next June so tonight we booked our vacation to the Outer Banks of NC. Staying in a house in Corolla. I’m super excited. This’ll be my 4th time to the Outer Banks and her 1st. And it’ll be our first real vacation that wasn’t just a 3 day weekend. Staying a full week.

We stayed there two years ago, it was nice, the traffic in and out can be a pain but that part of the island is nice. If its something you want to do hit the horse refuge tour while you are there as its super close.

If you want to clearly identify yourself as a tourist, than by all means pronounce it like the car. We will be quietly laughing at your for mispronouncing our weird town names.

Yes changeover days on the Outer Banks can be a nightmare. Sucks all the weekly rentals change over mostly on Saturday and some on Sunday. Makes getting anywhere on the north end of the beach a nightmare. The locals here have been pushing for a bridge into Corolla for years but it’s been an on going battle.
The Outer Banks is quite beautiful though. The Corolla area is very scenic with many beautiful views. If you’ve got a 4 wheel drive, definitely go a little further north up into Carova and drive around the beach. I’d recommend some restaurants but I live further south and don’t know the Corolla area spots. If I’m up there I’m usually catering. Hope you get to enjoy the anniversary trip next year!

yup we have our 4x4 explorer that will be making the 1000 mile drive down with. gotta have the 4x4 serviced though just to make its in top shape. the front diff has been leaking so the last thing id want is to get stuck in the sand. and we are looking to do a nice restaurant on our anniversary and it doesnt have to be in corolla per say. my wife just wants good wine and seafood kinda neat to know a local of OBX though haha

It’s a little south of Corolla in Duck but my mom has reccomended Blue Point in the past to some of our clients
I’ve never been to the Paper Canoe since it’s become that, but my mom used to manage the previous restaurant in that building. Spectacular views of the soundfront and I’ve heard good things on the food.
If I think of some others I’ll pass the word along.
