was this trip worth it?

Day 2 of our family vacation to the Outer Banks. And I think Stephen and I are definitely questioning why we thought this was a good idea.

Day 1 found us in the car from 8:30am until 6pm. The drive from our house to VA Beach was excruciating. The kids did so well and were so happy to finally get to grandma's and grandpa's.

Day 2. After spending the morning with family, we said our goodbye's and hit the road for the outer banks. We were doing so well until we got to the outer banks. Traffic, again.

We find ourselves on the third floor of a condominium, I think Stephen said it is 48 stairs to get up here. It is nice, clean but very, very small. We unpack and all the kids want to do is see the beach, but it is raining.

We went out to eat and the kids were crazy, can't blame them, they've been stuck in the car for two days.

I think Stephen and I are very hopeful the week will turn out fantastic and we can look back on these first few days and laugh. Either that or we will adjust our vacation plans next time, time will tell.
