Once more we embark on the family & friends vacation to the Outer
Banks!
This year was one pretty different from 2020 - the grown-ups were all
vaccinated, more places were open, and we had even more Nintendo
Switches (good?). As a bonus, our 8 hour drive down only took 10 hours
(ugh). By now, the vacation trundles along in its well-worn grooves, and
this one had some special moments too. A lot of these moments involved
eating delicious food (tacos, falafel, pizza, wings, curry, lumpia, and
too many pastries and sweets to list). We also did some other things,
like:
Go to the Bodie Island Lighthouse
Play Breath of the Wild
Swim around in a tide pool
Use our glowsticks for a night walk on the beach
Think hard about the next meal
Indulge in cheesecake
Swim in the pool
Play Breath of the Wild
Celebrate E's birthday
Paint our nails
Tie-dye shirts and towels
Fly a kite
Play Breath of the Wild
