So we did..


So many years ago we had a fun vacation at Oriental, N.C.

If you look closely you can see the bridge in the background.

The place we stayed was just across from the place the boats got fuel.

This picture was taken of my brother in the late 1950's.

On Sunday my husband and I rode back to Oriental, N.C.

Boy, was I confused.

The bridge didn't seem to be the same.

I wonder if they have built a new one sometime during those 53 years.

Husband didn't want to take the time I needed to try to figure out where we stayed.

I was exploring this little town to see if I could recognize any of the landmarks in Nichols Sparks

BOOK.

This is what greeted us as went across the bridge.

This was only some of the ships in the harbor.

I'd like to go again when we are not in a hurry.

I'd like to walk some of the water street area and see some of the older buildings.

I know I will return sometime .. sooner rather than later.

My favorite way to spend a pretty Sunday Afternoon.
