I don't think there are very many beaches as beautiful as what you find on the Outer Banks. We love going there each year and look forward to our next trip (yes, the girls are already asking about the beach and we just got back). Marin said to me just yesterday, "Mom, I miss the beach."
Of course I think a lot of that is that she misses her Nanny and Pappy.
We traveled down to Ocracoke Island this trip. The girls loved taking the ferry over and thought it was fascinating that the boat took our car over, too! Another highlight for us was climbing Jockey's Ridge and watching the sun set over Roanoke Island/Manteo. It's the largest natural sand dune on the east coast and for kids it's just one gigantic sand box with hills to run down. They had a blast!!
Madeleine is now into pirates and had to get a glow in the dark pirate shirt. Marin picked one out, too. The Outer Banks was once home to many pirates, including Black Beard, so there are pirate souvenirs and "treasures" everywhere.
I think we are travelling home to Texas through these same places....I will have to ask Greg! The girls are just beautiful. I love your sleeping little beauty on the beach blanket.
