The day after we arrived in the OBX for our long weekend (Brett took off a week between finishing at our old church & starting at Newton Grove), we headed to a beach house in Hatteras, about 1 1/2 hours from my parents' house. It belongs to a member of their church, who rents it out during the summer season. Since it's February, we got to stay for free! And it was an awesome house. Mom, Dad, and the kids stayed Sunday night, then headed out Monday, leaving Brett and I more than 24 hours to enjoy the place on our own.
Sunday was a beautiful day and Leah couldn't WAIT to get on the beach. No sooner had we gotten out of the car than she was dying to run to the beach. Since it is, of course, February, we were the only crazy people braving Hatteras and there was miles and miles of empty beach. It was so pretty!! (The top pic of Leah shows our house in the background.)
[This little man, who hasn't slept through the night in months, slept from about 7 until 4 am. In a bed that wasn't even his own!]
We enjoyed hanging around the house some that evening, eating dinner, enjoying the hot tub, and playing games. The next morning Mom & Dad packed up with Leah & Andrew and Brett & I headed out to Hatteras Lighthouse to do some sightseeing.
