Fall is Here, but We're Headed to the Beach!

My Mom and Dad were generous enough to rent a huge 8 bedroom semi-ocean front beach house in Waves, NC (Outter Banks). He reserved it for 2 weeks and any of my siblings was welcome to come down and join them and stay as short or as long as they wanted. THANK YOU DAD!

AJ and I were blessed enough in our school and work schedules to be able to go down for an entire week! We got to do it all, which of course makes it the best vacation for us! AJ was in the ocean as often as possible and had our niece Mary Claire to keep him company most of the time!


We even got to do a little ocean kayaking which we'd never tried before. It's a little rough to get beyond the breakers but after that it was the coolest thing ever!

We're so bless to have a great family we can both enjoy vacationing with and provide a place for us all to relax! Thank you Lord for our amazing blessings and ability to enjoy such a time together!

Jen, is actually 3 months pregnant here... can you tell?

This is how AJ spent most of our days at the beach,... with the girls in the water. It was his favorite part about the trip! Who is ready for kids???!!

THANK YOU Wise family for a great vacation! We look forward to next years trip!
