Summer Vacation

We definitely started the summer out in style this year! The second week of June we spent our time in the Outer Banks, which is located in North Carolina. The following attendees were there; my Mom and Dad, Mark, Tash and Zoe, Jamey and I. We rented a house in Duck and had the most relaxing, fun filled time. The weather was great and although I spent the majority of my time in the pool, I managed to do a little sight seeing, fishing and shopping. And of course, we swam in the ocean, always a thrill. Here are some pictures of our trip!

The beautiful home we stayed in



The pool, oh the pool

More pool (If I had one I would never ask for anything ever again)!

Mark in the kitchen

A little hard to come home to after cooking and eating in this!

Little Miss Zoe in her new outfit (love the socks)!

Zoe and Tash on the swings

Dad in the top floor nook

Mark, Jamey and Dad visited the Wright Brother's memorial and museum

Jamey with an Amber Jack (we opted not to keep these guys....they are kind of like carp)

Aww yeah, mahi mahi baby!

Dad and his mahi mahi

Jamey strapped in catching something


We came across hundreds of pilot whales, it was the coolest thing ever!

They were so amazing
