Family Vacation Part 1

Nate, Zadie and I took our first family vacation in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina during the second week of October.  We split the road trip in half and stayed at Bob and Susan's in Reston, VA the first night.

After our pit stop in Reston, we began our trip down to Kitty Hawk the next morning.  It took a little over 4 hours to get there and Zadie slept the entire time.  

St. Somewhere!

The house is gorgeous.  The love and care that goes into the house is obvious from the second you pull up out front.   There are bright colored chairs and cheerful flags outside.  In the backyard, there's a pool and a hot tub and more bright chairs and beach decorations.  Once you enter, you immediately forget any worries you may have had.  Work?  What work?  Stress?  None at all.  We were relaxed even before we kicked our shoes off.  After we settled in, we put Zadie in the baby bjorn and headed out.  The beach is only one block away.  It was chilly out the first day, but the sun was warm.

 Mmmmm, there's that North Carolina beach I love so much.

The tide was low and there were shells everywhere
