Oak Island, 2009

AKA Alcohol Abuse Island

It seems prudent to say this first. Yes, there was drinking involved. If at any point you wonder what someone was thinking... assume alcohol.

Lots of it.

And that doesn't even show beer. From my estimates there were 4 cases of Yuengling, 1 case of Guiness (for the carbombs, of course) and untold cases of whatever inexpensive brew Dave and MaryK were feeling at the time. Very very little came back with us. It got silly. The sun would come up and you'd hear champagne bottles ( I believe we went through 12? ) popping for our morning mimosas. I'm not saying that's all we did... just that it was along for almost every aspect of the trip. Nick spent approximately 45 seconds of the trip without a beer in hand.

Don't worry. He has beer in his pocket. I'm not kidding.

Anyway, we pretty much had the place to ourselves.

The walk to the beach.....

Yeah... really far. We had it pretty rough.

Anyhoo, some misc pictures

Ha... he's got a little captain in him...

 

And we did some fishing... to limited effect...

 

Nick set himself on fire...

 

And lord help us... they rented us scooters. A lot of them. One thing worthy of mention... you can have 7+ people out riding these things for an entire day and only spend $12 in gas. Anyway... we done did scooted in as badass of a manner as one can scoot.

 

And we drove up to Wilmington to check out the USS North Carolina.

 

 

All in all, I think we learned 11 people is a hell of a lot of people to have in one house. But, everyone was cool and I had a great time.

Now.. if only those pesky pelicans would leave Kelly alone...
