The First Day of Our North Carolina Fun ...

So, we made it to the Outerbanks ... without one problem. Our flight had a connection in Baltimore and we met Dean there and continued on to Norfolk, VA and then on to Avon, NC which is located smack dab in the middle of the Outerbanks. Oh, we love this place! We have vacationed here 8 times ... beginning when Torrey was 3. We all love it here ... it is a week of doing nothing but enjoying family. This year we are with Dean's sister Linda and her husband Paul, Dean's mom, Paul and Linda's son Mike and his wife Jessica and their two kids, Austin and Ellie and later in the week Paul Andrew (Linda and Paul's other son) comes with his three kids, Lane, Brendan and Andrew. Dean and Torrey have already been in the pool ... and they have gotten a "big spider" out of the pool. I asked them if it was the size of Dean's palm and he said "No ... about 1/2 the size of a tarantula" ... they let it go over the fence of the pool. I expect to see the spider again before the week is out! (Weird fact ... evidently spiders can swim. GROSS!) Torrey has decided this is the year she is going to try seafood ... I will stick with shrimp! AHHH! Vacation!
