Ocracoke over Christmas?

tawood said:
So my daughter and I have decided to take an annual mini-vacation, lasting about 4 days over Christmas vacation, to somewhere within 5 or so hours flight time from Michigan in our PA28. Last year we went to Memphis over Christmas and had a great trip. We got lucky with fantastic weather: mid-60s, little rain, etc. We took our fold-up bikes, and saw all the sites.
So this year, I'm looking for somewhere new. I was wondering if anyone has ever been to Ocracoke in December/January. What's it like then? We spend our winters in Michigan, so a daily average high in the mid-50s sounds just fine...but, being on the coast, how is the weather otherwise? Are there things to do? Calling @Rushie ...I think you've mentioned Ocracoke before...
Of course, I'd be open to other ideas as well. Jekyll Island Georgia sounds great, but it probably would be a bit far from Michigan for just 4 days. My daughter is only 18, so places like Atlantic City will be reserved for trips to come in a few years...(dad's only vice is the poker room)

Try Williamsburg KJGG. Lots of colonial history just made for kids. The whole place gets decorated for Christmas. Did I mention there is an outlet mall nearby for shopping? If you book early enough you can stay in one of the original buildings. They also have a nice ghost tour.

Yup and New Bern. Don't Think about moving to new Bern crappy place, polluted rivers, no malls, grumpy people. Yeah you wouldn't like Newbern. And Hurricanes, did I metion the hurricanes. Can't wait to leave this place but I probably got to stay here till I die.

It's horrible. Hurricanes, floods, hurricanes, mosquitoes and did anyone mention hurricanes ? It's awful. Dont ever move there.
 
Naw wouldn't do that, even Weilke agrees with me and we've never even met. Isn't that right Weilke?
 
So, where did you end up over the Christmas holiday? Pirep?

We planned to go to North Myrtle Beach, but right before we were due to leave a beautiful house went up for sale in the country near us. We decided we’d rather buy the house…The annual trip will have to wait until next year.
