Vacation in Kitty Hawk

We just returned from Kitty Hawk, NC and had the most wonderful time! Mike's (Blondee) uncle, Jack, rented a place and invited his daughter, Pam, her husband, Scott and their 2 sons, Lucas, 9 and Jake, 4. Uncle Jack's fiance, Sherry, was also there.

There is so much to do in the Outer Banks. We visited the Wright Brothers Memorial, went to the beach, hung out at the pool, and the boys went offshore on a fishing trip. But the best part was hanging out with Jack's family. We had not seen Pam and Scott in 10 years (pre-kids, Noah was 4 months old). I am sorry we missed so many years together. I feel like, especially with Pam, that I have made a friend for life. We stayed up way too late every night chatting and laughing. Noah and Lucas became big buddies (which Uncle Jack has been saying would happen) and Scott and Mike were even dressing alike. Jake and Ella were also adorable.

I was so sad to leave yesterday morning. Scott and Pam live in Conneticut so there is a lot of distance between us. Our goal, though, is to plan more summer visits together.

So, thanks, Uncle Jack for getting us all together. I feel so blessed to be a part of your family and I look forward to many more times together.
