roadtrip to the outer banks: one fish, two fish, fried fish, grilled fish (day one)

the outer banks is a long strip of narrow islands on the east coast of north carolina. our destination was the town of kill devil hills, a four hour drive from chapel hill. we set off on our roadtrip in the morning, just in time for morning nap.

after a lengthy nap, it was perfect timing for lunch. we found a local family restaurant in williamston featuring southern comfort food. we tried the fish burger (better version of a filet-o-fish), fried trout, and a country fried steak.

a bit more driving left to do, including over a long bridge to the outer banks.

after some rest and a brief walk to the beach (more tomorrow), it was time for dinner!! we were excited to try some seafood at colington cafe… we weren’t disappointed! all the seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked.

after a lot of food, we were really stuffed but couldn’t resist dessert… the coconut chocolate custard cream pie was delish.

haven’t seen too much yet, but our stomachs have certainly had a good tour of the area so far!

    I’m doing my best to turn Rebecca into a foodie baby :) It helps that she has a very healthy appetite.
