Back from the Outer Banks


We spent two leisurely weeks in Nags Head this year. Mimi, Boppy, myself and the kids were there the entire time with Jason and Thom for just over a week and Carolyn, Scott, and the boys for only four days. We didn't do a whole lot this year, besides reading. We went to the beach each day for about 2 1/2 hours, went to the aquarium, toured two lighthouses, shopped (of course), and went putt-putting. There weren't any exciting incidents, thank goodness, besides some smoke from inland fires (depending on the wind). Ella and David did make friends with two children from across the street who are permanent residents of the island. Not much else to say so I'll post some pictures. Email me if you want to see all 344 photos and I'll send you the link to our Kodak Gallery with our Outer Banks 2008 photo album. Enjoy!

We are empty nesters

We knew the day would come and it finally arrived on Saturday May 31st. We went to go peak in at the babies and they were gone!!! I had been wondering myself how in the world they would be able to fly up out of their nest but they figured it out somehow.

Now we'll have to find something else to do with our time!
