OBX

The Outer Banks is such a great vacation spot. I'm extremely glad that my Dad and his family started the tradition of going every year so very long ago. It's a tradition that I know my generation (the grand kids) will keep running for many years to come.

Here are my favorite shots from the trip. Next year we will have to get the WHOLE family together and take a big family shot before we all leave. Maybe we can even get Grandma Elsie out for it?

On the way to the island we always stop for gas JUST before we cross the bridge. This gas stop was particularly interesting due to the fact that there was a man with two wolves on a leash. Yes, you read that correctly... A man with two WOLVES on a LEASH. Pretty hard to believe, I know. Luckily, I took a couple of shots to prove it!



Scooter was the one to spot these two wolves, and he was going crazy to get after them! Thank goodness Jon grabbed him before he jumped  out of the window!


After we calmed Scoot down and headed on towards the island, we just had a hop skip and a jump to go before we got to our beach house! First step: crossing the bridge!



Once we arrived at the island, we headed straight to the beach. I left my camera at the house to fully enjoy the day. The very next morning, I awoke at 5am for the prettiest sunrise my eyes have ever taken in. Click the picture for a link to more pictures from the sunrise! 


One of my favorite things to do at the beach is take Scooter and let him play ball and splash around in the ocean. He absolutely loves it, even though he gets ridiculously filthy - covered with sand inside and out!





When Scooter tuckers out, the boys head into the water to do a little body surfing. The ocean was rough on this day, so I got some pretty hilarious shots of the guys getting whipped up by the ocean!










Scooter did NOT like seeing his Daddy getting beat up  by the waves, so he ran out into the ocean just barking away. It was pretty cute!




Here are some random pictures from our beach days!






On our last full night, there was a pretty intense storm that moved through. Before things got really hairy, I managed to grab a few shots of the sky...



Overall, it was a great trip and I can't wait to go back again next year!
