In late July we traveled to the Outer Banks, North Carolina for our family vacation with Justin's immediate and extended family. The weather was perfect and beach was beautiful. Sam had a blast with his cousins. We all stayed in a big beach house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, which made for a very comfortable stay.
The Outer Banks does not have a local airport so we had to fly into Raleigh and drive the 4.5 hours to the Outer Banks. Unfortunately our flights were delayed (again!) so we arrived at 2:00am. Seems to be our luck lately when it comes to traveling. On the way home, we had a hotel room in Raleigh so we could easily make our 6:00am flight. Raleigh turned out to be a very nice city so we did a little exploring the night before.
Here are a few pictures to document our trip and wonderful vacation!
