We just got back from our second (hopefully) annual Outer Banks trip yesterday. There is nothing like being by the ocean. I bask in being there by the waves. We've spent the last year dreaming about being back there and it did not disappoint.
We rented a beach house with our buddies, the Blakes, and spent five days spending as much time as possible on the beach (which wasn't too hard because it was our house, a dune and then the beach), relaxing and playing games together, visiting lighthouses and enjoying the scenery.
Our old friends from Logan, the Kudin's were also able to join us for a day. We were quite the crowd with 3 babies under two and a doggie.
Leo loved the beach and several times a day would ask to go on a "walka" to the "beach." He was in heaven digging in the sand.
We ate way too much junk food. We bought our traditional bin of cheese balls. Man, it's a good thing we only buy those once a year when we go to the beach. Those things are addicting.

One of the highlights of the trip was a special experience for Heber. For his 30th birthday, I put together a hang gliding trip up 2,000 feet. You have to do something big, something memorable.

| Do you see the huge smile on his face? He loved it. |
From our house, you could hear the beach and I spent several evenings
listening. I have to admit that I spent a lot of our trip thinking.
How could I not, there is so much change coming our way. So many things
to think about, so much to prepare for.

| Oh yes, remember that I'm having a baby? |
Hopefully we'll be able to come back next year. There is nothing like spending a few days on the beach.
