Outer Banks Vacation

We spent last week in Emerald Isle, NC with my family for a fun filled beach vaca! This was the first time we have ever vacationed all together in one house. It was a great time and I loved being able to spend so much time with everyone, especially my nephews. They are growing up so fast and do/say so many funny things. Colin has SO many questions, why this, why that....sometimes no one knew "why" so we made something up! Overall this place is perfect for a fun, restful beach vaca. The beaches are not crowded at all and it is a qiuet, small town. There are some things to do but we opted mostly for beach and pool time. One day we did take a ferry out to a private island called, Shackelford Island. It was basically another beach but this one had lots and lots of shells and we saw one of the wild horses, pretty cool. We ate and drank(some of us)A LOT and played games. They boys kept busy, my sister in law basically packed a toy store, not sure how they fit clothes in their car? So many games, toys, books and even Halloween costumes, we had lots of action going on at all times. That was our official end of summer fun, it was great and now back to reality!
