McReynolds Family Blog: Our Beach Trip to Nags Head NC!

This past weekend, we spent four days in Nags Head, NC. It was WONDERFUL! We rented a little two-bedroom cottage through VRBO.com and really lucked out. The place was great and perfect for our little family. We enjoyed visiting the Wright Brothers Memorial Park, the Manteo Aquarium and the beach right across from our cottage! Afternoon snacks consisted of ice cream for all. We grilled out a couple of nights and enjoyed some local seafood on our last night. Daddy's boss actually owns a small cottage about eight miles from where we were staying, so we spent an afternoon with them. Owen slept great in a big boy bed and is very excited to get his own big boy bed here at home for his birthday in July. Avery had a bit of trouble sleeping in her pack 'n play the first night, but was worn out the other nights and slept well.

We had FANTASTIC weather. A bit windy during the day (but perfect for flying our newly purchased kite), but warm enough to be on the beach. The water was chilly...but still fun to walk and wave jump in. The evenings were quite chilly...but that didn't stop Mommy and Daddy from sitting out on the front porch with a Citronella candle burning and a glass of wine in hand.
