Beach Getaway

Those that know my brother, know that he does nothing on a small scale, so when I got a phone call from him that asked if I wanted to get together and do something for a couple of days ~and get away~ I should have seen it coming....

He calls with the suggestions of a day at Busch Gardens, Jamestown or Virginia Beach for the 4th of July - I was game.  I have him the amount of money I could spend and he said he would start looking around.

The next call was to say that they had decided to rent a house in Corolla, NC and we should come down.  See - nothing done on a small scale.  But I love him, his wife and his kids.  I was in.  It was a new adventure for us, never going to "that end" of the Outer Banks.  We had a terrific time!  Lots of fun in the sun, good food, plenty of laughs and a new dessert - Sister Betty's Jesus Cake (formerly known as Dump cake). 

 Grandkids:  Ashlyn, Lauryn, Aaron and Mason - the cousins love getting together.

 Pop was our Grill Master!! 

 Ashlyn was just as excited as I was to see the Wild Horses on the beach. 

 I love this picture.  The stallion was bowing to the mare.

 Aaron and Aunt Robyn decided that they really wanted a hot tub at home.

 It's all their fault and we are grateful for the arm twisting.

BUTT UP on the beach and digging to they reach water!

The Corolla Lighthouse.  It was so pretty in the natural brick color.  Beautiful Grounds and terrific view from the top.

There is talk of a BIG vacation in a couple of years.  Who knows, especially if Jason is planning.
