Our Family Trip

If you ever want to get away and relax at the beach, sip margaritas (pina coladas/strawberry daiquiris/mojitos) while lounging by the pool, or hang out by the harbor and just enjoy the view (preferably with wine in hand), the lovely Bald Head Island, NC is your place! Until next year, oh heaven on earth! (Oh, btw, I have to give props to Matt who took some of these pics as well!)

An Instagram Family Trip

Here's a quick peek of our family trip from last month, shot in the ever popular Instagram form! LOVE IT! Like, where have you been all my life?? More to come soon (shoot in the ever popular point-and-shoot form). I know, right? Is there a professional photographer here? Anyone? Bueller? ;)

Family Trip

Ah, Bald Head Island.....we meet again!  The girls and I ventured down to North Carolina again with the cousins to BHI this August for some family summer fun.  Matt unfortunately couldn't make it this time :(  but we tried to have some fun anyway!  We spent lots of time at the beach, by the pool, and searching for an elusive alligator each night (that we never got to see!).  The weather was perfect, which led to perfectly beautiful nights with sunsets to die for!  All the following pics were taken with my point and shoot! 

Doesn't it make you wish there was just one more week of summer left??  

Paradise found

Have you ever heard of Bald Head Island?  Well, if you haven't, look it up here.  It's a little slice of paradise that will get your stress levels down and your joie de vivre up!  Seriously, is there anything better than miles and miles of uninhibited coastline, hearing the sound of the ocean at morning rise, and a 4pm cocktail hour?  (That's my fave.  Well, that, and the crowdless beaches that belong only to me!)  Matt and I went on a short but sweet weekend excursion with two other couples (our amazing friends) this past week that was simply devine.  It went a little like this:  boys - golf.  Girls - beach.  Frozen drinks by the pool at the pool club.  Grilling steaks.  Drinking wine.  Reading books.  (Reading books?  Yes, reading books.  I read a book in two days.  That hasn't happenend in over five years!  You know I have a five year old and three year old, right?) And now it's over, and all I have is fond memories.  And, oh yeah!  Some pics too!!

Here's our gang (minus me!) on the ferry over to the island.  Let the good times begin!

Boys.  Golf.  Check.

Girls. Pool.  Check.

We had perfect weather and great evening skies.

I love this shot!
