We just returned from 7 days in OBX (aka the Outer Banks in North Carolina). It was a wonderful week! We stayed at a great house with 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, pool, rec room and an elevator. It was very comfortable for the 9 of us. While I wanted to spend every day lounging on the beach with my feet in the sand and swimming in the salty sea, the kids had other plans. They wanted to spend every minute in the pool jumping, swimming and splashing around. We
did manage to go to the beach twice, as a group, but in all honesty, schlepping beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, sand toys, a cooler and other beach necessities 2300 ft. was a bit of a hassle. Next time we will definitely plan early so we can get beach front accommodations!
Our days were spent relaxing and enjoying being together. We also ate some amazing meals: Homemade pizza, coxinha, lasagne, shrimp scampi linguine, grilled chicken and crab, mango and avocado salad.
We ventured out to a local racetrack where the daddies and kids raced go karts around a small track. A stop at Dippin' Dots cooled everyone down afterwards.
It was an awesome vacation with my fun, fabulous family! I love them sooooooo much!
