OBX Baby!

I cant believe how much fun we had on our trip to the OBX. You can not imagine how hard I found myself laughing at times. I have to tell you that I have a million stories and memories that were made on this trip but I will only bore you with a few.

Let me start by telling you that we were a group of 17 and that alone is funny as hell! Okay so Emily had AWESOME t-shirts made for us that I of coarse had to make a joke out of and had great laughs at the expense of the shirts but really between you and me I loved them and felt so proud to be part of something so special. Anyway yes we did all were our t-shirts out the day we took our trip on the ferry and believe it or not as silly as I thought it was and as hard as I made people laugh with my jokes of the shirt family people were asking us where we got them! Is that not funny as hell! I thought so. Our nights were spent with seventeen people sitting down for dinner and let me tell you the chatter among us was hysterical, besides my outbursts of jokes and the boys breaking down and doing the LIGHTHOUSE most nights I left the dinner table with a belly ache and not from eating too much but instead from laughing so hard. After dinner we would play games and when you play boys vs girls with alcohol involved that shit is priceless. In the mornings we would get up and sit and watch the dolphin swim by so that was turned into a joke as someone was always on dolphin watch! Just being around so much family was such a great experience filled with so much fun.

So the moral of the blog is this..... As my brother in law said on our trip, "Unfortunately we do not get to pick our family" and I just want to say even with the low parts of the trip I would never want to trade any of them in. I am truly blessed to have gotten to be part of something so magical and so proud that I am a part of such a wonderful group of people. I want to thank all of them for allowing me to build and share some of the best memories of my life. I hope that we can all get together and do it again.



Until next Time....Blog To Share

RV is a good choice, it can be a quick get away or a place to get some privacy. I give you guys credit, I wouldn't have made it 4 days with my family :)
