The Outer Banks

"Look at that sea, girls--all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had
millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds."
— L.M. Montgomery


I hope you all are having a wonderful summer so far! We went to the beach last week for a few days with my family. We spent most of our childhood going to the Outer Banks but it had been around ten years or so since we had all been together. It was so much fun getting to be there all together again!

    I love the pics! Our family is leaving on Thursday to go to the Outer Banks! I'm a little nervous as I'm a Floridian and I've never been there. Thanks for the pics to make me excited! And I definitely need a hat like your sister's.... Marissa

    Three very random thoughts:
    1) My daughter also calls my parents Mimi and Papa. I thought we were the only ones.
    2) Lola is absolutely darling. She makes me baby hungry.
    3) Wow! Those are some beautiful, stylin' aunts!

    Jennifer, I LOVE the OBX so much.....I spent some time in Hatteras and I have such beloved, fond memories of that trip....now I know what James Taylor meant when he sang "In my mind I'm going to Carolina". I am so happy for you. Also, can't wait for Dear Lillie Etsy to open back up girl...I need toddler clothes for my 3 yr old Baby girl! Miss you big time!

    Your girls are just precious and beautiful! Where do you go in the OBX? We live in just south of Charlotte in SC but have never been. I want to go so badly, but it is quite a drive compared to Charleston and Edisto.
