This year's summer vacation was spent at the Outer Banks -- Kill Devil Hills to be exact.
It was just Pat, Mary Ellen & the kids and we had a very nice time.
We had fantastic weather all week and the surf was nice, clean and calm.
Highlights included:
- Condo was right on the beach and had an indoor pool.
- Eating out at a huge Seafood buffet.
- Eating in (we didn't have to dress up.)
- Rachel, Pat & Jacob playing Putt-Putt.
- Climbing Jockey's Ridge Sand dune.
- Drinking various Mike's Hard Lemonade (M.E.)
- Getting ALL the kids to sleep in a separate room.
- Riding a Wave Runner in the Roanoke Sound
- Riding Boogie Boards
- Building Sand castles
- Relaxing
- Napping
- Sitting out on the Balcony watching the surf.
- Ordering, Cooking and Eating a "Take-Out" Clambake of Lobster, Mussels, Crab and Shrimp.
- Reading Books. (Jacob finished "The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe")
Lowlights were:
- Rachel getting Sick with Fever, Vomitted then getting stuffy on Thursday night.
- Jacob Vomitting and getting stuffy on Friday night (no fever)
- Traffic driving to and from the beach.
- Condo was not very nice (Jacob got bedbug bites on his face - yuck). We will never stay there again.
Overall, it was a very nice time.
