OBX 2013

 
We traveled to the Outer Banks for vacation.  The grueling 14-hour drive was worth it once we arrived.  We could hear the waves crashing from our back deck.  We mainly beached it up every day.  It was a quick walk from our front door to the shore, so it beckoned most of the day.

 A few days, a storm out at sea caused ferocious waves.  One day the beach was covered with jellyfish.   Ava was fascinated by them.  I was grossed out by the fact that she kept picking up dead fish, but alas, it's Ava.
 We visited some lighthouses, the Wright Brothers flight spot, and the Lost Colony.  All very interesting, but paled in comparison to the beach for us.  Nothing beats salt water and sand!
We weren't all that excited to leave.  I think a few tears fell as we crossed the bridge.  I don't think we're done visiting this stretch of America.
