One of our favorite places we have ever spent any time and
worked has to be the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Yes, we were on a sandbar, but it was so laid
back and just a great place to spend a summer.
I was in flip-flop heaven.
It was not at all planned.
We were in the middle of fulfilling our dream at the NASCAR tracks when
things once again took an ugly turn. When
we left Martinsville Speedway with little money and no prospect for employment
with the next NASCAR track we were unsure of our next move.
We were frightened and whenever I get scared
the best thing for me to do is breathe and meditate…which I did! During meditation, I got the feeling we
needed to head to the ocean. Water
always calms me and helps me to reconnect to my life. Jerry thought I had lost my mind but he has
witnessed this in me so many times that he knew we would be alright.
We found work at Camp Hatteras RV Resort, Jerry was in
maintenance and I worked the front desk and we had the best summer ever. We met friends that we continue to stay in
contact with and now every job we work, we compare it to this one. Jeanette has been managing this resort for
over 20 years and she has a knack of making each and every one of us feel
special, treating all people fair.
This was one of those moments in our lives that we just went
with the flow and it turned out to be one of the greatest moments in our lives. Now if we can just learn to do this every other moment of our lives, everything would work out great for us.

I'm heading back to the OBX late summer and early fall. It is a neat place.
We have never been to the Outer Banks. I think it will make its way to our "to see" list. Thanks for sharing.
When we trust things always work out!! Good story!!
