Needing to get out of the house, we head to the Outer Banks for the day. Yes I know I am on bedrest or “limited activity” as told by the doctor, I took it very easy. In no way did I want to harm the baby.
On the way Blake told me to try to and find a couples massage. I called a bunch of places and nobody was able to do a couples massage but AQUA Spa https://aquaspaobx.com in Duck, NC was able to do massages at the same time. We settled for this because either way we would be relaxed. The spa overlooks the sound and the views are spectacular. I had a prenatal massage which was much needed. Such a stress relief during the last trimester of the whirlwind pregnancy I have been having. The massage therapist were fantastic and very professional. We both thoroughly enjoyed our massages and highly recommend the spa.
Sadly our massages had to come to an end. Being close to Corolla, we went to check out the Currituck Beach Lighthouse https://obcinc.org and information center. Unfortunately the lighthouse was closed to climbing for the season and under repair.
We had a place in mind for dinner. Blake ate there years ago and could not remember the name but he did remember the décor. I went to work on my phone trying to figure out the name of the restaurant while we drove back into Kitty Hawk. I finally figured it out, Basnight’s Lone Cedar Cafe https://lonecedarcafe.com and thankfully it was open. So many restaurants were closed for the season.
We found a public beach access and parking area and took Gander out to play in the water.
The weather was chilly and windy and felt like we were getting blown away. Well maybe not me, I am huge at this point.
We arrived for dinner and were seated immediately. For being the off season, the restaurant was fairly busy. We enjoyed appetizers and our entrees and had leftovers for later. We opted out of getting dessert and figured we would find a place with ice cream on the way home.
We snapped a quick picture of the sunset before heading out.
As we made our way home, we tried to stop for ice cream. The ice cream shop ended up being closed for the season despite the hours being listed on Google stating it was open. Oh well, we didn’t need it anyways.
We had a great and much needed day trip to the Outer Banks.
