Sun and Surf!


We enjoyed 5 fabulous days/nights at Carolina Beach, NC last week. We drove instead of flying and none of us went crazy! Score! So many fun memories made at the beach and a few made in the Griswold family truckster! 

First night we enjoyed the worlds largest pizza!

Mom spent hours making NC memory boxes for each grand kid to keep shells, sand, whatever their hearts desire in. 

Lovin the beach!

At the NC Aquqrium. The kids got to touch sharks, sting rays, amenities, starfish, and more!

Out to eat one night. I'm shocked Mikes eyes are closed! Haha!!!

Hannah photo bombing!

Buried in the sand. Too cute. 

One day we went hiking to find Venus Fly Traps, didn't find any! But we did see a WWII bunker and fiddler and ghost crabs. Oh and it was REALLY HOT!

Hot and thirsty kids after the hike. 

The 6 cousins.

Boogie boarding!

Beach time!

 One afternoon the 4 of us went to tour the USS North Carolina battleship. It was amazing! We all really enjoyed it. Porter is getting interested in history so this was really fun for him.

Last night!

Family pic! I feel so blessed to have such amazing parents, sisters, brother-in-laws, and nieces! Great group of peeps!

We can't be serious all of the time! Ha!!!!!
