Hello From Ocean Isle!

Yesterday, finally, we left for our family vacation! I can't tell you how excited we all are! It's been two years since we've been here and really, that's just too long. We love it here! Todd usually takes the kids crabbing in the canal and cooks them up for some yummy crab dip ;) But this year, they're going to give clamming a try. Maybe we'll be having a clam bake!

We arrived around noon today, but our condo wasn't ready yet so we had lunch at our favorite restaurant on the island, the Giggling Mackerel. Yippee! We were able to get in around 1:30 and we were in the ocean an hour later! Doesn't this look like a great place??
It isn't very busy down here right now. I guess most people are back to school ;) We are a very spoiled, homeschooling family!

Down the beach:
It was a beautiful day! I was happy to spend an hour on the beach before we hit our favorite, little grocery store down here!

I didn't get many pictures of the condo yet, just this one of the boys in their bunks:
There was a tropical storm a ways out in the ocean this week and so the waves are a little choppy and the water isn't as clear as we're used to but I'm sure that it will all settle down soon.

I'm sure we'll be heading down bright and early tomorrow!
