Well, we spent the last 8 days in North Carolina. The Outer Banks; Nag's Head, to be exact. We left on Sunday morning, July 18th and came back on Sunday evening, July 25th. Some high- and low-lights of the trip: - I got a speeding ticket in North Carolina (70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone) on our way to the house the first day. We were only about 25 miles from the house. Very unfriendly female cop. I called my insurance company today and they said that they do not surcharge for points, so all I should do is pay the fine ($166). Even though this would be a 4-point ticket in NJ, it only ends up adding 2 points to my license because I got it out of state. Weird NJ law, but I'm glad for it. For each year I go without a ticket I'll lose three points, so I'll be back to zero by the end of next July as long as I'm ticket-free. - Not quite out of NJ yet, Angie asked me where the video camera was. Of course, it was sitting on the kitchen counter where I had plugged it in
