Yesterday was our first official day of vacation! We made it to North Carolina and were SO ready to put our feet in the sand! The waves were a little rough today but tomorrow and the rest of the week we are hoping for it to calm.
Beach, cooking out, and more fun happened today! We are staying in a HUGE beach house with 6 bedrooms, bar, game room, hot tub, pool, and more! It’s amazing and I am so proud of Mike for planning all this and finding this awesome house! We have 2 other couples with us too! Well we are short, Brian’s wife and kids did not make it due to his kids getting sick. Brian decided to just come out solo though!
SO we have 4 adults and 3 kids in this big house and we are all having a blast!
