Jarred went on his first vacation to the Outer Banks this past summer. We stayed at a beach house in Corolla, NC with Nana, Pop, Tayl, Hannah, Ian, Great Grandma (Gigi) and Great Grandpa. We knew the trip would be long and intense (8 hrs) so we split it up and stopped in Williamsburg, VA. Here are a couple of pics of Taylor and Hannah in the stocks (who knows how to spell that?).

On our second day of driving, we stopped at a little farmers market to pick up some produce. Jarred discovered his new love of watermelons with Nana!

The first day at the beach Jarred wasn't too sure what to think of the sand or the water.

But he sure didn't feel that way for long! He had so much fun digging and sitting in the sand (eating quite a bit of it too). He also loved chasing the water as the waves rolled in and out.

Our beach house had a nice pool. Jarred thinks he needs one of these at our house too! He will have to settle for the public pool.

This is how Daddy relaxed on the walk back to the beach house after a long day at the beach.

No day at the beach is complete without ice cream! Nana spoiled Jarred with his first ice cream cone. I guess that's what Nana's are for :)

They had these really cool hammock swings. Maybe someday I will have one of my own :)

We even got Great Grandpa down to the beach a few days. He actually took wore his bathing suit and took his socks and shoes off...one day. Most days, this was his beach attire...silly Great Grandpa.

We took advantage of having the whole family at the beach and had a professional photographer take some family photos. Here are a few that Dan and I took. Maybe someday we will get some of the professional pics up here too...don't hold your breath too long though!

Jarred really had a blast on his first vacation to the beach!
