OBX 2013

So, we have been quite the world travelers. We had planned back in the cold frigid winter months on January that we would go to the beach in June. The Outer Banks in North Carolina specifically. I was a little nervous at first, an excited nervous : I'd never been to the beach in my life, and water, even still, keeps me wondering. You never know what kind if creatures could be swimming in those dark depths, waiting to nibble on your toes! But I was also excited because it looked beautiful and relaxing and also very fun. So on the night of the 20th we drove up to Chicago. The hotel we stayed at was right down the street from Midway and our room faced the airport. I didn't know if Bryce would get any sleep or not! He absolutely loves watching planes:)

Here we are dark and early at 4 on the morning to catch our 530 flight. Unfortunately, due to a way delayed checkin and security check( let's just say there weren't enough workers out of bed 

To accommodate the mass if people that needed to get on a plane. ) we sprinted to the gate, and got there at 5:22,but they wouldn't let us on. So we waited for an hour for our next flight to Atlanta

 

Here we are in the town of Bath. This is the oldest incorporated town in the US. est. in 1705.

Wheat harvest was well underway and we say lots of burnt fields. This is the only one we actually saw burn though. Look at those flames!

This little lighthouse is in the town of Edenton, another old old town with lots of old houses

This was the neatest little visitors centor!

Here we are going over one of the sounds, I think it was the Abermarle. This particular bridge had a drawbridge for boats to get through.

Ahh.... and here we at at the beach in Nagshead. This was the view right off our deck!!!

Well it's getting late ! I will put up more pictures soon!
