Dear Dad,
Mom and I spent Father's Day weekend spending your money eating and shopping, leaving you to do whatever it is you do when we're not around. And I think that's exactly how you would prefer it. You will not be so lucky next month for your birthday.
All my love,
Nikki
P.S. Thank you for putting up with us! You're the best!

SB2K11OBX By the Numbers
![]() |
36: Number of hours spent on the road. Only truly horrible during the last five or so.
1: Bushel of crabs eaten. This was the cause of one super-deep cut on my finger, which we have dubbed a "white person injury." "Oh, this? I got it eating Jimmies in the surf."
50: SPF needed to protect our Midwestern winter skin. I packed SPF 15, which may have been optimistic. I never did get to step down.
24: Bottles of wine consumed. This figure does not include champagne, which I would estimate at another ten bottles.
3: Pieces of sea-glass found. To be fair, my mom wasn't there to help me.
20: Pounds of pork shoulder devoured. In hindsight, this makes me a little sick.
2: Number of skinny dippers. None of which were me.
3 Million: Number of stars we saw when the electricity on the island went out one night. My favorite hour of the trip.
Until next time, OBX.
