OBX...aka, THE BEACH!


Cape Hatteras Lighthouse


Melanie, Dave and Me catching some waves!


Me, Melanie and Gina- serious boogie boarding chicks!


Just the two of us;)

Labor Day weekend Dave and I headed out for our last big trip of the summer. We were joined by 7 other LDS families which comprised of mostly dental students, an orthodontist resident and a law student. We stayed in a hooked up beach house located in Waves, NC on the Outer Banks. Our house was nice and roomy, allowing each family to have their own room and included a pool table, movie theater, pool and hot tub.
I have to say, OBX is probably my favorite beach! The water was really warm and the boogie boarding was hot! That's pretty much what Dave and I did all week and it was so much fun! We had perfect weather all week until Hurricane Hannah cut us one day short. We did have a few other adventures like ordering a dozen steamed blue crabs with Melanie and Zack, taking them apart and eating them with our bare hands! We visited Cape Hatteras lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in the nation. We also had a lot of good girl time. We would spend our nights playing seriously intense games of Nurtz. All the girls went out for dinner at a yummy crab restaurant. Overall, a great way to say good-bye to summer!
