Our neighbors at the house we rented suggested dolphin watching and recommended Capt. Stuart Wescott and his tour. Wasn't too happy that I had to travel down to Manteo (car travel in the Outer Banks can be murder - worst than the GW bridge in rush hour). Luckily, it wasn't as bad as I had feared. The quaint little town of Manteo was an added bonus. Nice seaport-esque village with nice quaint little stores. As for the cruise itself, you actually sail with Capt Wescott. He was very nice and knowledgeable. Told silly jokes to keep the voyage light hearted. Sold drinks at a very reasonable price. The bathroom was also very convenient and clean. Strangely, this seems to be a selling point compared to their competitors. Saw many dolphins. Very docile and peaceful. Don't expect any flips or spins or twists. This isn't a SeaWorld show. The captain was very patient. Kept us out there a while until everyone had their fill of watching dolphins swim. After the initial excitement of finding and seeing the dolphins, there's only so much more you can watch, at least for me. On the downside, it is a touch expensive for a ferry ride but comparable to everyone else. Overall, a nice alternative If you need a break from the beach to let the sunburn recover.

The week before our wedding, hurricane Dorian hit the Outer Banks. The bad weather didn't once stop them from communicating with us and held a positive attitude about making our dream wedding happen. Tony was willing to meet us at our beach house since our scheduled meeting wasn't able to happen due to the island still being evacuated. We did a quick rehearsal and Tony answered all of our questions. The day of the wedding went smoothly with no bump. We also had their team provide lighting for our backyard and received so many compliments! His crew had the lights up early in the day which made it easier for all of us to finish our decorating. Everyone apart of the I Do OBX team was amazing to work with. Our arch was stunning and I still look at pictures of it! Thank you all for all of your hard work! We loved every part of our wedding day!!

I loved all of the fabrics they had to choose from, including various jelly rolls and other precuts, and they had some great patterns (and even quilt kits!) available for purchase. They also had a huge selection of Valdani thread, which I would love to order from them in the future! I was also happily surprised to see the selection of felt they had in store in addition to project patterns for the felt. The pricing was great, and the system for pricing fabric cuts was super simple to follow. No guessing necessary! They also had a wonderful assortment of notions, just in case you brought a sewing project to work on while on vacation but forgot a suppliy or two. Definitely stop in regardless if you're a quilter or some other form of sewist/stitcher- this shop is one you won't want to miss!
