Beach Vacation '09

I am slowly, slowly catching up on sharing photos and can finally share photos from our beach vacation. We spent the week at North Topsail Island, NC with the Chiles'. It was such a relaxing week! We spent lots of time on the beach playing in the sand, boogie boarding, looking for shells, reading, taking naps, and just enjoying the beautiful beach. Looking at these photos really makes me want to go back. I have exactly one week until our first teacher day. Think I could squeeze in another quick beach trip??

Our beach house - we stayed on the left side. I loved how close we were to the beach!Boogie boarding! (Dane, Jenna, Gage)Jenna and Dane....showing off the seashells they found....
Jenna and Gage....Jacob and the sand crab sculpture he created.... Jenna making "drip castles". I can remember sitting on the beach at the Outer Banks when I was little and making drip castles with my sisters!

Jenna is as big of a beach lover as I am. I really think she and I may have to consider moving there!

OMG...I am so jealous. I would love to spend my last days off on a beach. Next year I am going to plan a relaxing beach vacation at the end of summer.
