Outer Banks - July 2010

After Chicago, we headed to Outer Banks, North Carolina for a family vacation. What an amazing trip! We shared a house with my parents, Jeremy's parents and Jeremy's brother, Daniel. The idea was to have quite a few of our family come, but it didn't work out, so we had tons of extra room in this huge house:

SO fun! The Outer Banks is not a typical touristy, boardwalk-along-the-beach hot spot. It's way more laid back and is a nature lover's paradise. We stayed in the northern part of Outer Banks in Corolla. Our house was on the sound side (the calm side of the water in between the islands and the main land), and the ocean side was just a short walk from our door. :-) It was also great that our house was part of a community, so we had access to the community pool, gym and tennis courts which were just across the street.

Since I took a ridiculous amount of pictures, I'm going to break these posts up into parts by day. Stay tuned for more Outer Banks details! :-)
