Outer Banks Sandbars

Welcome for 2013!

We are again offering to let out our week at the Windjammer at Nags Head. This year the week begins on Saturday, March 16. It will be $395, which is a bargain for a week at the Outer Banks. Be sure to check out the Windjammer’s official website at www.WindjammerOBX.com. They have a few photographs.  One thing we liked to do was stop in Greensboro on the way to the coast to witness a huge re-enactment of the Revolutionary War Battle of Guilford Courthouse at a national military park. The dates of the 232th reenactment are uncertain, but it might be March 16-17. For more information, go to http://www.nps.gov/guco/index.htm. And go to http://guilfordbattlegroundcompany.org/ which is the site of a nonprofit that runs the reenactments. It has a great slide show of scenes from the battle.
