Paul and I were at Kill Devil Hills in OBX for a little rest and relaxation before our lives change forever. It was an interesting experience spending the week with five other families and several toddlers. The kids are very cute yet so destuctive! One minute they are cuddly and wanting to read a book, the next they are running, screaming and jumping on the furniture. We are certainly in for a shock to our lives. The beach was fantastic though. A little more crowded than ideal, but we could walk a very short distance to the beach (beachfront, just had to make it over the dunes), we had a pool and it was not even close to the crowds in OC Maryland. There was a wind that was disruptive to everyone's beach time, but to me it was a nice break from the hot weather... until the new beach umbrella died in true OBX fashion, completely broke apart! The ocean water was a bit chilly, but refreshing nonetheless. The pool water was perfect. Being in the pool also helped take the weight off my poor feet. When I got out of the pool though I feel just like when I get out of the ocean with diving gear on. The weight hits you all at once.
It was certainly nice to be away from the house. There always seems to be something more at home that we can do to prepare for the baby or just fixes to the house in general. Since we weren't able to do anything away we were actually able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The car ride there in the new car was great as well. It is such a smooth ride and the navigation system worked great. Now it is back to cleaning... painting... cleaning... and more prep for Baby A.
