It comes in waves

I left last Sunday morning to meet my family at the beach in the Outer Banks of NC at Nags Head and we returned home yesterday. For a week I slept to the sound of the waves crashing right outside my bedroom window. I soaked up some much needed vitamin D (miraculously through my 85 sunblock), ate rapaciously, napped often, and read until I fell asleep with my book knocking me in the face. My sheets and clothes were salty and sandy and life was perfect.

For a Jersey shore girl, it just doesn't get better than going to back to the ocean.

  3. We went to the Outerbanks last year for my sisters' weddings. We were there for a week... we rented a house right on the beach. It was glorious.

  6. I hear you sister-friend. But wait! I seem to remember a little girl who HATED the beach and ran away from the waves. That couldn't have been you? :-)
