Outer Banks

This year the Davis family took a vacation to the Outer Banks of North Carolina - specifically, Corolla, NC. We loaded up all of our stuff, Braden, Rocco, and my brother's dog Posey, into the van and headed out. It's a long 15+ hour drive to Corolla, so we split the drive into two days. Braden did very well in the car, and didn't scream too much. We stayed at a hotel in West Virginia and learned that Rocco hates hotels. Kevin literally had to carry him in and out to go potty. He was so scared! We stopped in Virginia to visit with Kevin's cousin Mike, his wife Melissa, and their twin boys Charlie and Carter. The boys are so cute!

The house that my parents rented was right on the beach and was super nice. We did nothing but hang out on the beach all week. The weather was perfect! Not too hot and it only rained at night once!

Braden keeps getting cuter!

Our setup on the beach - Braden had a little cabana so he could stay out of the sun.
He LOVED sleeping on the beach!

Rocco also enjoyed the beach. He loved to sit on this bench and look out at the ocean!
At first, he wasn't too sure about the ocean...
But he learned to love it really quick! We couldn't keep him out of the water!



And Braden also got his first taste of ocean water.
