Family beach trip

We went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to celebrate my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. Jean and I rented this great house on the beach in Waves and it had an inground heated pool and all the amenities. Here is the link to the house if you ever need a great vacation home for multiple families.

We visited Manteo one day and also went to see the Hatteras Lighthouse. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, standing at 208 feet, is the tallest in the United States and we climbed all the way up to the top. It was an incredible view.

Jeff and Russ went golfing on the coast one day while Mom, Jean, E and I did some damage shopping. We also went to the Wright Brothers memorial in Kitty Hawk. It was an incredible week with everyone.
