Xenia House

Our home away from home for the week. No beach front housing on this treasure of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Bicycles are the primary mode of transportation around the village. 4x4s are for driving on the beach and setting up to fish. This was the first time we had been to the OBX in many years without 4 wheel drive. Someone thought his V8 truck would be fine, but we spent much of our first couple of hours on the beach digging the truck out of the sand. Thank goodness there are no pictures of that scene! We were finally pulled out only to get stuck a second time. Everyone learned their lesson and future beach trips will be at one of the walk over sites!
