Bloody pirates!

I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End on Sunday. When you live on Ocracoke, going to see a movie (especially one that is nearly 3 hours long!) is pretty much an all day affair. It took nearly 8 hours - left at 1:30 to make the 2:00 ferry to Hatteras, drove to Avon for the movie at 3:30, shopped at Food Lion (never go to Hatteras without a cooler!), and ended up on the 8:00 PM ferry back to Ocracoke, arriving home just before 9:00.

It was worth it, though. The movie was great entertainment. No, it's not as good as the first one, of course (none of them ever will be). But it's pure fun nonetheless. Go see it for an escape from daily life!
