Party in the OBX y'all

I am very fortunate to have some wonderful connections ... and with those connections, I create vacations. It's become somewhat of a hobby. 

It's pretty simple really. My dad has a consultant out in DC (Steve Wilson) who just happens to have a beach house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in Nags Head. Since my family couldn't make it out there, I thought I would take one for the team and use the beach house this past weekend. The Curran's of Lorton, the Oliver's of Greeneville, and Miss LaMay of Alexandria joined me. 

The Outer Banks are basically a string of barrier islands that hug the coast of North Carolina. They're also known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic", because so many shipwrecks occurred there (see sweet map below). Now it has obviously become a tourist destination ... which is fine with me. Party in the OBX y'all.

Kickin' it on the beach. Livi LOVES the beach. By the time we were done she was literally shaking from being soaked head to toe.

Woodstock 6112! Awesome place with 7 rooms and 7 1/2 bathrooms ...? Riddle me that one.

The water was surprisingly warm.

Our place was about a block from the beach.

Shot from Jockey's Ridge sand dune.

Rich and Eileen with the Roanoke Sound in the background.

Liv was able to let out all her pent up energy at the dunes. 

She stopped only for photos and kisses.

Livi "Beach Girl" Curran

Random fox running across the dunes ... check.

Next time we go back there, we're doing THIS!

Such a nice LEAP! Haha.

Rich was worried he was going to hit me ... but of course, I was the one who flinched. Rookie.

I couldn't pass up this photo opportunity :)

All those little heads on the pier are fishermen. Cool!

The whole weekend it was in the mid-60s ... which is pretty decent for the end of October.

Devon, how did your butt get wet .... since you obviously DIDN'T get in the water when we did Baywatch...?

Livi, LOOK AT THE CAMERA!

Having fun with the waves.

The Curran's without their children ... something you don't see too often.

This is the only pic I have of the Olivers ... sans Molly. This is Chris and his daughter Bella. They're awesome. 

The ever so photogenic Devon LaMay :)

Livi rockin' the Giants sweater after getting soaked. That's her "get me the heck outta here" face.

This is what happens when you put a dancer on the beach. She can't help it.

This is Devon clarifying that the 1st flight ended right here...

Shot of the hill at the Wright Brothers Memorial. For those of you who don't know, the Wright brothers moved out to the Outer Banks (Kitty Hawk) to test their flying machines on the dunes. This grassy area used to be a huge sand dune. The first 4 high-powered flights took place right here by Wilbur and Orville Wright. 

We just happened to come on the day that the Outer Banks Chorus performed! Say whaaat! They were great ... I want to be in a group like that when I'm old.

LOVE this FACE!

Lil' L gettin his smile on

Here are some shipwreck maps of the Outer Banks. This is mostly for Capn' Morgan.

All those little ships are shipwrecks! Crazy cool.
