Outer Banks

We had a great week at the beach last week. It was so fun to get to see my family and for Tyler to be off of work for a week. Skylar did great and was thrilled to have constant entertainment from aunts and uncles and grandparents. We made it through Tropical Storm Hanna and really didn't have too bad of weather all week. On the way there though the road was flooded and we had to drive through a couple miles of water on the road that got to 18 inches deep. They were only letting SUVs go so we were very lucky to make it through. Cars had to wait another 3-4 hours for the tide to go down.
We also had another fun driving experience on the last night. We were headed to dinner and we decided to drive on the beach for a bit. (Vehicles are allowed on the beach there and lots of people drive out there to fish) We started driving and were all having fun and watching the waves and then we realized we werent seeing any more cars anywhere and thought we werent going to find another road access exit. I thought we were going to have to turn around and go all the way back. We were sliding around on the sand and sometimes would have to get pretty close to the water to avoid hitting a dune. I love off roading, but I was even a little nervous with Skylar in the car. We eventually found an exit though and got back on the road and headed to dinner.
I was a little dissapointed that Skylar didnt get to wear her cute bathing suits and play in the water, but it was really too cold for her. She did love her walks on the beach in her baby bjorn.
