July 3rd was the date of our last post!?! Honestly, I don't know where the time has gone! What kind of blogger am I??!! The good news is, we're back! It's hard to believe that summer has come and gone! We had a great summer, despite the mild weather. The highlight of Summer 2009 was the Bathon trip to the Outer Banks, NC. It was the first time we've been back since summer 2003, the first summer that Mark and I dated! Seems like ages ago! Since then, I've ran 2 marathons, married my best friend, and welcomed James into the world! Hard to believe all of that has happened since our last visit to Duck. Who knew such wonderful things were in our future!
The trip began with a short flight into PA. We then drove down "Griswold style" to NC the next morning. It was quite the adventure, complete with James getting some major poops on the way down! Made for a fun 8 hours in the car! Once we got there, we had the best week and never wanted it to end. We laid on the beach, swam, ate way too much, drank a little more, had a family walk on the beach (some of us got lost and walked a few extra miles), almost beat up someone on the beach (wonder who that was? Mark?) watched movies in the home theatre room, cocktail hour by the pool, and just enjoyed each other's company. Family is truly the best gift in the world. Being together, makes you realize how lucky you are to have one another and never take time for granted...and I can't wait for everyone to be together again.

Looks like such a fun vacation! I actually miss all the sand in everything!!! Maybe one summer we'll be doing OC at the same time!
What a blast! I almost felt like I was at the beach when looking at your pictures. James is such a little man. Was he really covered all the way up to his head with sand? He is sure brave, but we already knew that. I wonder what would have happened if fireworks started to go off or a dinosaur walked by? huh.
