Outer Banks 2011

Up until we went to the beach, Aiden asked us every day when we were going to the beach - strangely, he has not asked since being back.  We took a trip to Outer Banks mid-May since it may be the last time we can do that with Joshua starting school in the Fall.  The boys LOVED it - the weather turned out to be chilly at times but mostly warm!  The ocean was cold but the boys didn't mind. We visited the park, drove to the big aquarium (not all that big) on Roanoke Island, went out to eat, played on the beach, splashed in the ocean, etc.  In the afternoon, pockets of water would form on the beach like little pools and the boys loved playing in them and the water was pretty warm.  It was a good week! No traffic, no crowds...  nice!
