This year the annual family vacation was spent in Salvo, NC on the Outer Banks. My wife nor my brother had ever vacationed on the Banks, so we thought that this would be a perfect location.

The weather could not have been more perfect although the water was a little chilly. My wife was determined to catch a shark but unfortunately we came up a little empty handed…maybe next year.
