Trip to the Outer Banks

One thing we have grown to appreciate about living on the East Coast is that you can drive for a couple of hours, if not less, and be in a different state. We took a trip down to the Outer Banks and stayed in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The first day we visited the Wright Brother's National Park and saw where they launched their first four successful flight attempts from. Those are the numbered rocks that Abby is standing by. On the way back to the hotel we stopped and played some putt-putt. Both Abby and I made a hole- in- one, but Quintin was the overall winner. Adrianna had a little plastic club, but lost interest with that and just liked throwing her ball into the hole.







The hotel room was very nice- with a great view of the ocean. We had grand plans to get up and watch the sunrise together and we did, only with a little one joining us as well because Adrianna woke up too!



The weather was cloudy, but still great for the beach. This was Adrianna's first time going to the beach and she loved it. At first she was shocked when she had sand all over her feet, but she got used to it and later was trying to get it to stick to her arms! We buried Abby in the sand and made her a cute mermaid tail! We let her do most of her swimming in the indoor pool because she gets so cold when she gets wet, but before we left she ran out and played in the ocean for a while. She got knocked over by some strong waves but got right back up with her little boogie-board to go at it again!



This next picture was taken by Abigail. We were trying to get a shot of just the two of us, but Adri kept creeping in!


















Here we are getting ready to head home- all showered and with only about 30% of the sand still on us! It is so hard to get rid of all that sand after you go to the beach!


On the way home we stopped by a roadside farmer's market- Don't those peaches look great?
