Okrakoke Lighthouse, Okrakoke Island North Carolina.
Our Ferry boat ride. the waters was crystal clear and the sky was flawless. This is a place I would love to move too.
The back of the Ferry. Watching all the seagulls. The jellyfish was surfacing and some were an unusual rd color.
Riding the north Carolina Ferry system. June 14, 2008 
Professional Tourist! I love riding bikes and since this photo I have bought our own bike. Just a pumping and a pumping! LOL
Exploring the island and checking out all the souvenir shops. What a blessing to see such beautiful place.
The Locals told this place was exceptional. The air is smelling good around here. We had grilled hamburgers and they were Delicious.
Looks like a sneaker wave about to get me.
Ready to take a dip. We didn't bring our suits, but we did get a little wet. We were sitting on the sand and a huge wave came and almost got us. We look like a crab on all fours behind us. We stuck our hindends up in the air! LOL!

The sand was warm and just melted your cares away. This is where I wanna Be! We went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to see as many Lighthouses as we could in one weekend. It was a 2 hour ferry boat ride to Okrakoke Island, the first of 4 lighthouses we visited that weekend. We saw huge jellyfish and some were bright red. When the ferry churned up the water all the jellyfish surfaced. It was a perfect day for the ferry ride.
One of the first things we did was stop at the souvenir shop and I found the most unusual light. Well it looks like a giant green diamond, it had a holder with chains that the diamond dropped down through. It was a prism of sorts to send light to the bottom decks of the old ships. Way too cool!
Next on my agenda was find that gorgeous Lighthouse. We did and boy was it beautiful and so well maintained. You couldn't go up in it but it was impressive to say the least! We spent an hour or so there but we returned again and again for more pictures.
We found the perfect hotel to stay and it had a private hammock on a private deck. After we checked in and put our things away we sent out to see what we could get into.
First, we rented bicycles and left of our exploration of the island. We made another trip by the lighthouse. We worked up an appetite so we asked the locals for a good place to eat and off we were in that direction. Delicious Food and a great place for resting after riding on a hot afternoon.
I hit every souvenir shop on the whole island before I was exhausted and returned to the hotel.
