The Outer Banks

Ahhh, the Outer Banks. We were so lucky to spend a wonderful week there with David's parents as well as his sister Liz and her husband Jason. What a beautiful place! David and I are trying to figure out how we can move there, we loved it that much. Anyway, we arrived on a Saturday after an 8 hour drive through massive amounts of traffic. I count Sunday as our official first day of vacation and it didn't start out that well. Savannah woke up not feeling so well so she and I ended up spending the morning in the condo. It was definitely hard having the beach so close and yet not being able to go there. My poor little Savannah had a nasty stomach bug; Xander caught it as well later that afternoon. Thank goodness it didn't stick around very long. Despite a tough start the rest of the week was absolutely wonderful. In the next few entries I have posted some favorite photos as well as memories of each day.

Day 1 - Sunday
Weather - Sunny, hot, and very, VERY windy in the afternoon
My poor sick girl.

Xander attempted boogie-boarding with Uncle Jason...it didn't turn out so well.


Poor Uncle Jason...boy, was he patient.

I finally made it to the beach in the afternoon but a massive sandstorm hit and we were forced to head inside.
Xander completely wrapped up head to toe in a towel as he braved the stinging sand in the storm.
Quality time with my babe.
