well i'm back and i managed to make it home in one piece. here's a picture for your thoughts. it's of the ferry boat on the way home from ocracoke island. we always make the trip down there while we're on the outer banks. our visit was very nice because they have this awesome coffee shop/bookstore. and we also visited this neat craft store back on howard street that's was cool. i bought a new coffee mug there. the ferry was nice on the way home. it's always nice taking the evening ferry home because you can watch the sun setting.

we had a great time and i'll post a few things up here once and a while about what happened because it would take to long to tell in one entry. i finished my book (the dangerous summer, by ernest hemingway) while i was down at the beach. it was pretty good. and i also bought the catcher in the rye which is my favorite book that i would've liked to have owned and well now i do. i bought it from that coffee shop/bookstore down in ocracoke. ocracoke is the bomb.

the trip wasn't as tiring as i thought it would be but it took around 11 hours until we reached salvo. then on the way back we decided to rest at a motel. driving another 11-12 hours after a 2 week vacation wouldn't be easy anyway. it always seems longer coming back. so that's it for now and band camp starts in a few weeks!
