  1. OBX is one of my favorite vacations spots.

    I grew up in Virginia Beach, and one of my fondest memories is driving to Hatteras, sitting on the beach watching the surfer boys, drinking a few adult beverages and then sleeping in the back of the trucks or right out on the sand at night. I don’t think you can get away with that now, but it was glorious!
