We rented a beautiful house with 9 other Dental School families and became professional beach bums for a week.
The drive down was surprisingly fun- thanks to Raffi. Bry and I even busted out "The Wheels on the Bus" and "Old MacDonald" (about one hundred times- who knew Old MacDonald had elephants and snakes and dinosaurs on his farm?)
The house was great. Really beautiful, tons of room for everyone, and it was like a 3 minute walk to the beach.
Ivy LOVED the beach. She just giggled with joy the entire first day.
Anytime we're near water Hyrum has to cast his fishing pole (even if it's a puddle). He's gotta keep practicing his form right? His Grandpa Webb should be proud.
Our little glamour queen.
I wish you could have seen Hyrum's cute little legs chugging along trying to keep his kite in the air. It was adorable. Bry and I were both surprised how fun it was to fly the kite... something about the inner child... maybe we should try out a hula hoop sometime.
When we weren't at the beach we were doing some serious touristing.
This beautiful lighthouse was closed for the winter. It would have been awesome to see the view from the top. Who's idea was it to have SPRING BREAK in March?
We walked through a "wet land" and onto this peer. It was fun teasing Hyrum about "little boy eating alligators". I'm sure he'll seek his vengeance when he's a teenager.
Bry had surprising natural talent for the drums and guitar when we played rock band. What isn't he good at?
Look at those adorable faces. These were very rare moments of calm.
We were VERY lucky to have warm weather for the first half of the week. But, the cold weather was a great excuse check out the aquarium and do a little shopping.
This guys was hilarious. He reached into the ray tank and pulled out this Horseshoe crab for Hyrum to touch. It was a cool little creature.
Hyrum wouldn't touch the crab, but he loved the snake. Uncle Golden anyone?
Very rarely is something worth all the hype, but this place really is special. I can't even fathom how fun it would be in the spring and summer when everything's open. I can't wait to go back. Maybe we'll even get a bumper sticker next time.

How fun!!! That is so neat! I adore that pic of Ivy.
PS we will be moving to a two bedroom in May. Feel free to STAY with us (in our guest room) next time you come to DC to go to the temple!! We would love to see you!
What a great post!! I especially love all the pictures that you took. Three cheers for Spring Break!
That looks like SO much fun! I bet it was a blast to be with so many other families, too. I swear that looks like the exact same house that our friends who live in DC went to when they were in OBX with a group. Maybe they all look like that, though?
Hyrum and Ivy are absolutely adorable in all the beach pics! It makes me want to take Jack to the beach sooo bad. Ivy is just gorgeous in her swimsuit, hat and sunglasses...what a girlie girl!
FOR SURE!!!!!
What a hogtie you are in those beach pictures!!! Your little ivy in that picture with the glasses and hat is adorable! That house looked amazing.... I miss the east coast:)
You guys sure did get a lot of great photo shots! My favorite was the family foot print shot (CUTE IDEA) I am glad you guys got to go to the OBX! Robby can relate with you on the bumper stickers as well, at first he was like what the heck is this OBX I keep seeing? now he's like I NEED TO GO THERE:)
What a cute family! Your pictures are all adorable! It sounds like you had a fun Spring Break, we didnt get to go anywhere great but it was nice having a hubby around!
Would'nt it be fun to plan something together one of these breaks. We could meet in the middle. :)
