I had never been to the south before, and somehow didn't realize that that was where we had ended up when we flew to Norfolk, VA, drove to VA beach, then down to North Carolina to stay at a beach house in the outer Banks in a village called Nags Head. Despite the name, it was quite lovely. And despite the "warm" temperatures for March (40s), we had a fabulous time visiting with family. My amazing sister-in-law Mary arranged the whole thing, and I flew out with my 2 girls, my mom, sister and her son Jairus. We met up with my brother Jeff, Mary and their boys Hyrum and Joseph, who live in VA. The first day, we visited the awesome aquarium at VA beach, then went swimming in the hotel pool. The next day, we drove to the beach house, stopping at Kitty Hawk, where the Wright brothers discovered aviation, on the way. I spent the next couple of days there, walking on the freezing cold beaches, visiting a lighthouse, driving the length of Corolla beach, finding great shells, going to Roanoke Island where the first European settlement was established, and had a surprise celebration for Tessa and Grandma's birthdays (both March 23rd. But the best part was spending time with family!

I'm so glad we got to go together! I keep telling you we went to North Carolina, not South Carolina, but you still get that part confused. That's okay, we were still sort of in the South. I hope we can go back there sometime when it's warm!
