4 weeks and counting until another awesome family vacation!

Every other year my side of the family gets together for a vacation. We have been camping in North Carolina a couple of times and last time we met at my brother's camp in Pennsylvania (a.k.a. Mudville Lodge). We had an awesome time (15 people and 6 dogs!) with no running water, no electricity and an outhouse. We went swimming in the creek, played at the beach at a local State Park, went 4-wheeling and got really muddy! We had a BLAST!

Only 28 days and our family will be meeting up with my parents and brother & sister's families...15 people and 2 dogs! Wow! We have rented a house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a week. Each adult couple has their own bedroom and the boys and girls each have their own. We also have a pool, 6 person hot tub, and aren't too far from the beach. What a step up from our last trip. I just hope we have as much fun...I'm sure we will. I am looking forward to spending the afternoons on the beach and checking out the local attractions. Madie is looking forward to getting a henna tattoo.

On our way up we will be taking a ferry ride from the mainland to Ocracoke Island. It's about a 2.5 hour ride (only $15 for us and the car...bargain!) and then we will travel up the Outer Banks checking out the sites on our way up to Corolla. Can't wait!!!
