It's so hard for me to believe that we just returned from our 3rd trip to the Outer Banks as a family of 3! We had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect.
To be honest, any time I can spend a week with my family all together...in one place...I'm one happy camper. Seriously, I think I was a Border Collie in a former life. I've definitely got that herding instinct!
Unfortunately, this year the whole family wasn't able to make it on vacation. Don and the kids couldn't come because of Maggie's sports commitments (boo hiss). Jamie also wasn't able to make it this year. Jamie recently graduated from college and is now working, renting his own place, and doing all manner of "grown up" things that precluded him from being able to go away with us this year (double boo hiss).
The no shows not withstanding, it was great to spend a week with family! Lily had so much fun...playing Candyland with Dad Dad, trains with Uncle Dave, King and Queen with Uncle Ed, building sandcastles with Beanie, roughhousing with Ryan, hanging out with the big girls (Clare, Sadie, and Katie), and talking the ears off of Aunt Baba and Aunt Patti.
I'm already looking forward to next year's vacation! Until then, here are a few of my favorite pictures from this year and a look back at the last two years.
