Beach (Take 2)

AKA, Wyatt's First Road Trip....
Just a few weeks after our first big family trip, we were off on another one!  This time we headed to Outer Banks, North Carolina for my best friend from high school's wedding.  After weighing our travel options, we decided an overnight road trip was our best bet.  Luckily for us, it worked out pretty well.  Wyatt slept most of the 13+ hour drive both ways while Daddy (and sometimes Mommy) stayed up and drove :)  We spent a wonderful 3 days at a beach house with Kathy and Stephen and their family and friends.  Here are some pictures from the trip...

View of the beach house across the street and several wild horses...if you aren't familiar with this area, the beach we stayed on (Carova Beach) is accessible by 4-wheel drive only by driving directly on the beach.  There are no roads, only sand paths and wild horses live in this area.  The drive can be a little scary, but the area is absolutely gorgeous, quiet, and perfect for a private beach wedding!

Wyatt playing on the beach.  He did so much better at the beach this trip.  As you can see, he actually played in the sand with his bucket and shovel.  He still didn't want to go in the water (it was very cold) but still an improvement that I will take :)

More sand castle building (or destroying) and looking super cute in his hat :)

Is that a smile at the beach??  Mama loves it!

We call this "beach tailgaiting" and I think it is the best idea ever!

Wedding time!!!!!

Love her!!

As you can see, the wedding was beyond gorgeous and I am so glad that we got to share Kathy and Stephen's special day with them!  Seeing her so happy just made me smile :)
