Well, I'm in the East.  I've been here for almost 2 weeks visiting my family and relaxing a bit.  I came with the kids two weeks ago tomorrow and Chad came a week later.  We had a lot of fun with my sister and her husband and a bunch of family (including Chad's parents and brother and sis-in-law and their kids) over the weekend.  But of course, I didn't take pics.
Sunday, we drove down to Nags Head, NC to hang out at the beach for the week.  Here are the pics.  One more day here, then we drive back to Richmond on Sat.  Then Chad and the kids and I will fly back to Madison on Sunday.  I'll be sad to leave, but glad to get back to a routine.  I sure do love vacation, though!  It's been great having my mom get up with the kids every morning!  You're the best, mom!!


 Nags Head, NC (really, we're staying in Kitty Hawk)

 
Cameron loves the slides



Yup-- I still got it







Charlotte loved eating the sand











Grandma started brushing the sand off of and out of Charlotte's mouth




She didn't like that




Back at the SeaScape with grandpa




The weather was crazy the next day




But there was a pretty sunset




Back to the beach




Chad thinks he's nautical-- like the stache?














The water was freezing-- Cameron loved running away from it




This is Jockey's Ridge-- some sand dunes in Nags Head









Walking up the dunes... what a workout.  We were all pooped when we got back to the car.



























Today




5 years ago.  Dang.  We've aged each other!

You're just seasoning with time!

It's been a great two weeks - we'll miss you & the kids like crazy when you're gone.

Yipee! You are making me so excited, because we are moving to NC this summer. :D
And the last five years have been kind to us, too. ;) We definitely look older. But happier, too(?).

I love the pic of you guys with your backs to the camera (on the dune). Looks like you've had fun. Wish we could have seen you last weekend. Can't wait for Myrtle in August!

I like the family photos. That's so gross that Charlotte likes to eat dirt/sand. I love that picture of her crying about getting it taken away. Too funny. Thanks for posting some fun pictures to see. Have fun with your family!
