Well, Irene threatened to ruin our long-awaited summer vacation, but she was unsuccessful. In fact, because our beach house was flooded when we arrived, we got upgraded... to the house where many interior scenes from the movie "Nights in Rodanthe" were filmed. Being the Nicholas Sparks fan that I am, this was a highlight for me.
The kids loved the beach, although Brooklyn does not do very well out of her home environment. (Read: Mommy and Brooklyn got up anywhere from 6-9 times each night.) The weather was perfect for the remainder of the week, and other than a few shingles missing and going without cable the first day, nobody would know Irene's fury had just passed through hours earlier.
We ate too much, played a lot, and came home with peeling noses. It was perfect.
So without further delay, I present just a few of the pictures taken during our fabulous vacation.

We were at Topsail the 2nd week in October and stayed at the house next door to the one you were in. I wanted to see the inside - was it beautiful? Thank you for sharing your life with your special girls. You inspire me to not complain and to be thankful for all 4 of my blessings (aka - kidlets).
