Friday March 3 through Friday March 10. After a wonderful week right on the beach, we moved inland a few miles to Pam and Ray’s house in Manteo. From there, we continued to visit with family, play some golf and explore for another week. We’ll divide our experience into three blogs: Family (this one), activities and history, and golf (part of our golf section).

During this week the weather flirted with spring—cool and windy, some sun, some rain—but we still enjoyed the outdoors with walks and activities every day.
We started with a great family weekend. Nephew Ryan, who now lives and works in Raleigh, came for a long weekend visit with his friend Malory. She, like him, is a recent graduate of Lenoir Rhyne University. Other nephew Darren was there of course, as well as the world’s most loved dog, Snickers. Ray’s mother Ina came up from the Charleston, SC area to stay in her beach house in Kill Devil Hills. We had a nice Sunday dinner with all at Basnight’s Lone Cedar Café, a local favorite, overlooking the Roanoke Sound on the causeway between Nags Head and Manteo. [See family photo above]
It was a weekend of games and fun meals together. We played the board game Sequence several times, other card games, and Catchphrase of course to make everyone look silly. There was the big challenge ping pong match between the Dare County High School champ Darren, his brother Ryan, and the west coast champ Ruth (results still being debated).

Speaking of games, everyone we met or talked to mentioned that Saturday night was set aside for watching the UNC-Duke basketball game for the conference title at 8 p.m. This is a rivalry, at least in basketball, bigger than USC-UCLA or Stanford-Cal or U of Minnesota-(who is their rival for the bottom of the Big Ten?). UNC won this one.
