OBX Vacation August 2010

We had a wonderful vacation this year, like we do every year, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We stayed in the town of Kill Devil Hills, right near the famous strip of sandy land that the Wright brothers first flew from. The drive to Virginia was smooth, but the traffic to the beach was baaad. That was probably the only bad part of the trip as we enjoyed family, friends, the sun and a lot of downtime.

Tyler, Pepere and Dan at the Wright Bros Monument



We enjoyed eating out a few times and we all ate at the Tale of the Whale, which is right on the water. It was a good spot to take some family pictures.






Tyler is a bit scared of the ocean, so we spent a good amount of time in the pool.




Every year we head to the dunes for a sunset walk, and Tyler was really able to enjoy it and do a lot of going up and down the dunes.






We got to spend time with our good friends Josh and Cristen at the beach as well.


Once we got to Virginia, we had time to get Tyler out in the sprinkler (the very same sprinkler that Jen used when she was a kid!)









We also had time to visit Jen's great Aunt Margaret. She had been sick and so we made sure to visit her while we were in Virginia. Aung Margaret went to be with the Lord just about a week ago so we were thankful to spend time with her.
