Okay, so this is actually happening ...
It started out as a joke one night in October after reading a story about the biggest beach house that had ever been built on the Outer Banks. 36 suites with their own bathroom, gourmet kitchen with catering kitchen, 24-seat movie theater, arcade, pool tables & foosball, gym, sauna, outdoor pool area with grills & kegerator, etc. etc. etc. I joked that I found a place to hold the 100th in-person Bluebird night.
But I made the mistake of mentioning it to a wonderful group of people as crazy as me and, yadda yadda yadda, we booked the place for November 2024 and amazing people are actually coming. This is nuts, right?
Located directly on the oceanfront in Kill Devil Hills, this premier property is a resort in itself. Lavish features can be found throughout the four levels of living space, which include 36 bedrooms, countless common areas, and the most sought-after vacation home amenities. We'll definitely experience the luxury and convenience of this coastal homestead for our large group getaway.
Okay, granted, we ended up in the Outer Banks because of the house instead of the other way around BUT if we had intentionally thought that we could successfully create a TotallyNotAnEvent™ with such an incredible group of people, we might have looked first at the Outer Banks anyway.
The Outer Banks is over 100 miles long and filled with incredible natural beauty within its abundance of parks and wildlife areas, a plethora of historic sites from fortresses to gardens to lighthouses, numerous breweries & distilleries, over 300 restaurants with many serving up local seafood, scores of outdoor activities from fishing to hang gliding, a bevy of beautiful beaches to relax on, and all of it spread across over 20 lovely towns.
I mean, it's vacation so your schedule is absolutely your own, but we will have some structure and events for those that like those sort of things. You can check out the currently fluid agenda.
We will also be having some themed, catered meals that you might not want to miss.
How do all of our campers get to experience all the incredible sites that the Outer Banks has to offer without turning it into a boring cruise-like tour where we drag 50-60 people all at once to various locales? Why, you ask your campers to form into teams and you create the most amazing scavenger hunt you can think of. Points will be awarded for pictures and/or videos of your teams visiting the most popular, and the most overlooked, sites in the area. Of course, it is a Bluebird event so also expect some interesting activities that you'll need to complete.
It is the second week of November, but it is still the beach. Historical data would tell us that our days will have highs of about 66 and lows overnight of 54 with almost no rain throughout the week. We'll keep updating the site with whatever information we can come up with to make sure you can dress accordingly
Sunrise each morning we're there will be at about 6:30am and sunset will be in the few minutes before 5:00pm. Tides are all over the place so check out the chart.
