Knotts Island

We took a trip to Knotts Island after church today. It's about 45 minutes drive, past Pungo and the aviation museum. It's flat and has water all around it; looks like new construction needs to be raised on pilings--we saw two houses being built that way. A small community, with a restaurant (closed until May), a vineyard/winery (also closed), and one mini-grocery/general store (which was open).  But they did have the ferry, and a street sign that said "Fat Boys Nip Joint", and open water and ospreys. There were lots of green open fields (which always puts me in mind of cavalry actions) and the trees were covered in blossoms, so it was pretty enough for a spring afternoon drive.
