@Mjsfetishes The Ocracoke beaches are beautiful, if you are that far south. The fishing village is also nice to walk thru/ride a bike.
The northern part (Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Duck) are built up and "peoplely". The southern part (Rodanthe, Avon, Buxton, Hatteras Village) are more rural.
@TracyTheTiger The memories and the grief are always there. Be there for your Mom and your family and in that moment your brother will be there with you.
