- the beach clean sand and clear waters (not icky like the northern atlantic ocean). not overly crowded. the further south you go, the more 'private' the beach. we were at the north end in Corolla, considered the more 'developed town'---but still very relaxed and family-oriented. the water was cold at first, but warmed up mid week.
- the house comfortably slept 3+ families, walking distance to the beach (our wagon did come in handy for pulling the girls), biking distance to groceries stores, restaurants, movie theatres, mini golf and rides. we were even able to even catch a movie while the girls slept.
- the house pool we went fm beach to pool to cool off. who doesnt love to splash in a pool on a hot summer day, esp a kid. the big kids enjoyed it too, marco polo anyone?
- the neighborhood lake was a special treat. almost every night, the kids wanted to go feed the turtles crumbs. duy, thuy and noah fished---no fish, only one turtle and poor noah was accidentally hooked. but that didnt keep him fm wanting to fish more!
- family time we gambled (of course), ate lots of ice cream, played some board & video games or just hung out. some kiddy tidbits we got to know. noah showing off his speedy backstroke. mia doesnt have toddler taste when it comes to food---bring on the spicy noodles and grilled pork chops. anna saying 'it good? in a swedish accent, and already has some diving skills. joshua, let's just say, has a LOT of personality. and lindsey is one eating machine!
the Outer Banks, come to relax and only 5 hours away! We're definitely going back next year!
