OBX... continued

More on our fun OBX adventure.
(by the way: OBX = Outer Banks, the fun beach coast of northern North Carolina)


Auntie Sue introduced us to a YUMMY restaurant that was sooo great! The Jolly Roger.

First off, if you come between 4:30 and 5:30, you get the early bird special, buy one get one free. IN ADDITION... Saturday nights KIDS EAT FREE!!! Are you kidding me! Our whole family ate a huge, fantastic dinner for $30 including everything!

The entire staff is dressed as pirates, and the restaurant is decorated as if you are on a pirate ship. We ate in the captain's quarter's room. So Cool!!! Uncle Peter, Auntie Sue and Grandma Joan met us for dinner. We really had a great time.

The drinks all come decorated with pirate bling. Savvy was not so sure about it. I made her a little nervous and she refused to drink anything.

They have a playground in the back that our kids really had fun on.
I love this picture because it shows my darling kids at their individual levels of play, but all playing together.



Did I mention that it was SO SO SO COLD the entire time we were there!!!
How cute is my little paddington bear baby?

OBX day one

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!
We had our first family getaway to the Outer Banks last weekend! Auntie Sue Ward came to visit us and then we drove her to her mom's house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We had a fantastic time! It was FREEEEEZZZING cold at the beach, but really beautiful. We got a Days Inn Hotel right on the beach and our room's balcony overlooked the ocean.

We toured the Wright Brother's National Park... Very cool!
This is an awesome play experience for the kids to climb on. They really do a nice job here.
Next we went to the Bodie Island Lighthouse.

Up next... Bill and the boys true purpose of our trip... Ocean fishing!

I was sooooo thankful that they didn't catch anything because Bill would absolutely have scaled, de-boned and roasted it right there on the beach. NASTY!! They did have fun though. We are really ready for our Dittbrenner cousins to come and go fishing with us when the weather gets a little warmer. Uncle Wayne is a master fisherman!
