It was a real scorcher here today, temperatures hit 100 inland and similar heat and humidity steamed up the beach. We sat by the pool for a few hours this morning but the heat of the day really got to us and by late morning Darren and I had enough. Since it was lunch time we decided to head out for some delicious North Carolina bbq. Yesterday on our adventure exploring we discovered a small little bbq ’shack’ on the grounds of the Corolla Lighthouse. This small shack which is more like a food stand serves fabulous sandwiches and plates for lunch including chicken, ribs and pulled pork – all prepared North Carolina style. We ordered two tasty sandwiches, some drinks and settled under a tree at a picnic table where we were both in heaven. We both enjoy good barbecue and the last time we were down in North Carolina for our furniture shopping expedition we had our best barbecue meal ever. We are definitely going to venture out again one day in hopes of finding another hidden barbecue gem. After our lunch we ran a few errands and then headed inside as some major thunderstorms were approaching. Fortunate for us the heaviest rains and tornadoes were more inland but it did put a damper on our plans for a walk on the beach. Oh well….there is always tomorrow.
