Our family vacation is coming up in just a matter of days and I am ready. This year we are going back to an old classic for our family, Ocracoke. Both Jay and I love it there, we love to drive our trusty subaru to our choice spot everyday, we love that there is no dinosaur or pirate themed put-put, we love that everything is closed after 10, we love that there is no chain restaurants or stores, it is just a perfect little get away from everything. We have had some great trips here in the past and we are looking forward to one again.
Last year we ventured out of our vacationing norm and took a east coast tour of some cities and states that we have always wanted to visit. It was a great vacation, but it wore me out. I am not sure if it was because I was in the throws of my first trimester of pregnancy or because we essentially walked the whole east coast up one side and down the other, but I am glad that this year I can plant it in one town, in one house, for one week. We have seen all the sites, eaten at all of the restaurants, shopped and paroozed all of the stores and galleries, but I think some nice familiarity might be fitting for this years vacation. With an almost four month baby nothing has been too familiar in the past four months.
So needless to say we are ready! We have all of the essentials......
sunscreen, bug spray and a new fun color of nail polish
and of course a finished beach quilt that is just begging to be relaxed on in the sun!
Ocracoke here we come! Keep your fingers crossed that little C is a beach bum like her mom and dad!
