OBX trip

We had our annual OBX trip again. I tell you what. I just love the outerbanks. It is not like myrtle beach, or VA beach, or Ocean City where you go on vacation and it is go go go go go. We go for a vacation...to relax, spend time with friends and enjoy ourselves....and that is exactly what we did. It was another successful year even though Hanna came through and kicked us out 1 day early. The weather was beautiful (until the last day), the house was cozy, and the company was wonderful.We stayed at a different house this year, named Yellowfin, in the Whalehead section of Corolla. This one was larger, but further from the ocean. We also did a 4 wheel drive beach jeep tour and got to see the wild horses. In all the years I have been going there, I never experienced that before. It was amazing. We only saw 1 group of horses, but it was a group of probably around 5-6 horses with one being a young horse. We also went to the lighthouse to do a wine tasting tour. It was hot, but nice because the sun was starting to set on the sound, which was really pretty. We took daily trips down to the ocean, and to tim-buck-two shopping center. Of course we will do this trip again next year. It has become an annual vacation that I don't want to ever give up. The week we went was the best. Definitely a week i recommend to all. We went the week of labor day, so the kids are back in school, the prices drop by at least $1000 for the week, it is less crowded, and we only have to take 4 days of vacation for work (that is a plus for someone like me, who doesn't get a ton of vacation). Below is a pic of the group of us this year (minus the 3 kids...they were in bed!). Thanks all for another great year!

I'm glad you guys had a good time, and got to do so many fun things. The only thing about your trip that would have made it more fun was us being there! lol J/K :) Seriously though, wish we could have made it.
