Surf's Up Dude!

Jack not only survived his first long trip east, but he also made his first trip to the Outer Banks! We decided to head to the coast for the 4th of July and try our luck at our first family vacation. So, packed the 4Runner full (literally) and set out on our journey.

The trip started out great as Jack slept all the way to the Kitty Hawk from Raleigh and the trip ended just as good, because he slept all the way back. We thanked the good Lord above for that blessing! Although washing bottles at the hotel and keeping Jack quiet was a small challenge at times....the rest of our trip was an overall success. Jack had many more firsts, including his first nap on the beach (just like his Daddy), stuck his tiny toes into the chilly water, slept in his first hotel bed (Yuck), and avoided the coastal wildfires! Daddy continually kept him in style by making sure Jack had a baby mohawk the entire trip (See pictures).

We're not sure what our next journey will be just yet, but I'm sure Boone's not far away!
