"Ocracoke has long been a very special place for our family," Patty wrote. "Now with an empty nest my husband and I got to spend two weeks on Silver Lake Harbor, always being sure to be 'home' at sunset time."

These four photos were taken just a few weeks ago. Check out Patty's blog to see even more beautiful scenes from their recent visit! She says they are already counting the days til next year this time.
