The week before Labor Day we rented a house down in the Outer Banks of North Carolina with some friends (pictured below while on the ferry to Ocracoke Island: Ian, Cindee, Jessie and Myron). Their boys are a few years older than Alex and Tyler, but they had a great time trying to keep up with the big boys.
We left our house at 4 am and arrived at the beach house around 7 pm (15 hour trip)! Needless to say, we were all tired of being in the car and ready for a good nights sleep. The next day we hung out on the beach and the guys tested out their surf boards in the ocean. Even though their surf instructor said the waves were too rough for a lesson, the guys couldn't wait to get wet. They had fun and only one ended up with a minor head injury.
You can't visit the Outer Banks and not see a few lighthouses! This is the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (pictured below).

We got sand in our swim suits, a little too much sun and ate some great seafood! All in all, a wonderful family vacation! Here are some other pictures.
We stopped at Pilot Mountain state park in North Carolina on the drive home.
On the way home the boys passed the time by coloring (Alex), talking on the phone (Tyler) and eating lollipops.
