OBX 2008

There are few things better in life than a week at the beach and it is safe to say our 2008 Outer Banks experience was as close to perfect as imaginable. We had our the entire Lowry/Haley clan under one roof, a week of sunny days and cool nights, and crystal clear, warm, boogie board beckoning water. I am pretty sure I speak for the whole family when I say that it was a picture perfect week!

Some of my favorite parts of the trip included the girls afternoon at the house, investigating the Currituck lighthouse, taking walks on the beach, swimming with the boogie boarders, flying kites, watching Elizabeth teach Richard to kayak, and playing with Sammy (the family dog) in the waves.

Other memorable moments included my cousin's engagement on the beach (yahoo!), putt-putt golf with the cousins, the old time family photo (pirate style--oh yeah), and the night of the undercooked crab.

All in all it was a vacation to remember. The photos I am uploading are from Chris' camera. Most of the really good family pictures are on Dad and Uncle Charley's cameras, but these are pretty too. These are pictures from the sunrise our last morning in NC. We got up really early (4:30 AM) to watch the sun rise together-something I have wanted to do since we first got married. Also included is a picture of our house "Seas of Sun" and my favorite place to visit Duck, NC. Enjoy!
