OBX 2019

Our fourth year at the Pelican Perch in Duck had to be right up there with some of the best beach week weather ever. The temperatures were comfortably in the mid-80's all week, the water was warm, and the few storms that we had come through all kindly waited until the afternoon after a long and beautiful day on the beach. The big innovation for this year was a kegerator for the house with a keg of refreshing Weeping Radish OBX beer, and Katherine grudgingly consented to Lee opening his present from us on the first day, a 128 oz vacuum insulated DrinkTanks growler, the perfect companion for sitting out on the beach. 



If there was one drawback of the gorgeous weather, it was that we didn't get in quite as many games for the Pelican Cup. I won the opening night bocci tournament, Don won mini-golf, Grandpa Fawcett won the marble game tournament, the boys won the sand castle competition, and Makayla won the closing bocci match. Aside from those games, there were just a few scattered throughout the week, and my winning two games of cornhole was enough to give me the Pelican Cup for the second time, putting me in a tie with Owen for the all time lead. Can't wait to go back next year!
