Outer Banks, NC.

After our stop in Norfolk, we continued south for two nights in the Outer Banks. For many summers growing up my family rented a house for the week in the Outer Banks, and it was such a treat to get to experience it for a couple of days with Aaron and Hazel. While it wasn't lay-on-the-beach weather, we made the most of our time by stopping into some of my favorite restaurants (hello Black Pelican!) and trekking the massive sand dunes at Jockeys Ridge State Park. The sand dunes are almost other worldly, and it was a definite highlight finally getting to show Aaron what they are all about. We stayed at the fabulous Sanderling Resort in Duck, and it was a wonderful kick off to a life of travels for little Hazel - she did so great!
