I recently got back from a family vacation at Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina. When I say “family vacation” I mean there were about 20+ folks coming and going from the beach house. This has been an ongoing tradition well before I was born. It’s an opportunity for cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and so on to spend a week together under the same roof to really bond + catch up. When you think about it, It’s priceless. Here’s a recap of my vacation at Ocean Isle!
The views from the beach house.
This was the best $9.99 I spent on a cheesy shirt from Waves to give to my cousinI kept it classy on the first day with a Diet Coke in my House of Swank koozie.
Wine, saltwater and sand is all I need. This is what heaven looks likeThe beach hat I bought was cutting it, so I bought this amazing mustache hat to keep me cool and looking hip
My cousin Blake found this starfish on the beach. Poor l’il guy lost a limb later that day.
This is what happens when a pack of cute kids asks you to buy one of their bracelets they made. I couldn’t say no!
Every evening led to an exciting game of beach volleyball
I adore Ocean Isle for their calm beachesAnother gorgeous view of Ocean IsleThe family flag that was on display everyday!
These 2 goobers kept me laughing all week long and I got to feel young again hanging out with them
That pretty much sums up the week I spent at Ocean Isle… drinking wine/ Diet Coke, hanging out with my cousins, being goofy and LOVING the beach.
I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty excited about some of the shows coming to town this year. I just bought pre-sale tickets to see Fun. at Red Hat Amphitheater and Band of Horses at the Ritz in May. I also learned that The Postal Service will be coming to town this summer too. The things I find out on Twitter is enough for me to spazz out at work.
I have a wish list of shows I’m itching to see and my fingers and toes will be crossed until they come to town.
