Outer Banks with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Ali and Mark = lots of fun, excitement weathering hurricane Earl, joys of eating sand, no bedtime schedule and big waves. And there was a lot more to the trip that made it memorable! First vacation with Kaitlyn = the first vacation with two little mobile ones who require much attention which meant very tired parents. We're all happy that the induction into the family of four vacation club was successful :-)
