I can’t believe we’ve been here on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a week, and we still have almost another full week to go. Heaven I tell you! My parents have been renting a house here on the northern tip of OBX for as long as I can remember. The water has been (mostly) very warm, the beach is incredibly beautiful, and Henry has been a dream compared to his 18 month self when we went 2 years ago. He’s so much fun to play with and is getting much more daring in those waves!

My sisters and I bike around everywhere on these fun beach cruisers. My favorite spot is to wander around the Whalehead grounds and historic Corolla

Sporting my new hat I picked up at a little beach boutique. I’ve been getting a bit too much sun so it’s been the perfect accessory. Do you have a favorite straw beach hat?

Henry’s little cousin Gigi has the most kissable cheeks. She’s adorable and she and Henry have been getting along great (phew!)

Every night is a serious feast. My dad’s specialty is sushi rolls. Delicious!
