7.25, obx twenty-ten

yesterday, we returned from our vacation on the outer banks. it was our first vacation alone as a family of four. adam and i were so surprised at how calm and relaxing the trip was. the kids were happy as clams the entire trip - even on the 7 hour car ride...and even with wells cutting her first tooth and max, his two-year molars - agghhh! we did our share of chilling out, but also enjoyed many activities together...visits to the pocosin wildlife refuge, the cape hatteras lighthouse, the beach, hatteras village, twice-daily bike (or as max says, "bite") rides, just to name a few. i am usually raring to get back from vacation, but was genuinely sad that it had to end. it was a special time for our family, and i am already thinking about where we can go next (disney world, anyone....ummmm, maybe we'll give that a few years!!!!).






wells enjoyed the sunsets out on the deck.


max loved the water...
but wells preferred to stay under the umbrella.
