OBX Trip - Part 1 "We've Arrived"

   

On October 2nd, at 7:40 P.M., our family left on a 12 hour drive

to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. 

We love North Carolina! We've gone down there every years since Jonathan (18) was born.

 

 Here's Janna stretching out in the car. 

 Every year we fight over bragging rights of being the first person in the ocean. 

We arrived a while before we were able to check into our rental. Dad parked to take a nap 

(He'd been driving all night) and Allison snuck out and ran down to the water.
