Vacation Hangover

Ok, so what's new?? I'm WAAAAAAY behind with posting. So, I'll skip the apology and get straight to the point - life is good, but Pittsburgh is brutal! We are super homesick and we're not sure when it will go away...or if it will.

For now, we just look forward to the fun, light hearted moments with friends here in the Burgh and especially with our family and friends from home!

We just returned from our 2nd annual Whiteside vacation to Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We made this year's trip into a family vacation and were so happy to be accompanied by my MIL, BIL, SIL, and our adorable one year old nephew (seriously, he's precious!). We spent a week beachin' it and eating like there was no tomorrow. Needless to say, I've greeted Pittsburgh with a tan and at least 5 (scratch that)10 pounds heavier than when we left. BUT we had an absolute blast! 

Since Josh and I literally just dropped our bags at the door, I'll keep the blogging short and end it now with a few pictures from our holiday. ENJOY! 




Finley builds awesome sandcastles! 

Lifeguard Lola - keeping an eye on Jess & Carter

Carter drove our boat and was captain for the day! 

The Ocracoke Lighthouse

We drove up to Hatteras to see the Hatteras Lighthouse

We went on a full moon kayak tour - don't mind our lovely vacation hair! 

Eager to get out there! 

Our view from the kayak - stunning!! 

We rode bicycles all over the island

The sunsets were amazing! 
 
And so were the sunrises! 

Carter-man tried on a Gamecock hat...just to test it out. His parents are Clemson fans - we'll see how it turns out. 

The boys caught big fish! 

And even bigger fish! 

Seriously, I hate when great vacations are over! We are sure to have a classic vacation hangover tomorrow!
