Jason and I didn't really get to celebrate our anniversary this year because Jason played in a golf tournament, the kids had sports in the evening and we left the next day for our trip out west. We made plans for a late celebration this weekend because Jason was off on Friday and Bryce didn't have any baseball games. Woo hoo!! This was also my last weekend before I headed back to work after my extended summer vacation so it worked out perfectly.
We rented my friend's condo in Nags Head for the weekend and it was perfect. We headed down on Friday after we took the kids to school. We got there in time for lunch and then we walked out to the pier, relaxed a little, went to Oregon Inlet to see the fishing boats come in and then we had dinner in Manteo.
The afternoon ended cloudier, breezier and chillier than we had expected so we had planned to go to Jockey's Ridge on Saturday, but the weather ended up being too beautiful to pass up a day on the beach.
I spent the majority of the day reading and relaxing on the beach.
Jason and I went to Mexico a couple of years ago and our mini bar stayed stocked with Pringles and "cacahuate" M&Ms. This has become a favorite beach snack for us so we stocked up!
Jason spent the day catching sand fleas with his new rake and catching fish with his cast net.
He ended up catching a fish with his rod too!
We had dinner at a fun outdoor restaurant overlooking the beach before heading in to relax for the evening. This was such a perfect way to unwind and prepare for a new school year. I'm lucky to have the schedule I do!
The kids had tons of fun with MeMa and PaPa while we were gone. We face timed the kids Saturday morning and they were carving pumpkins. MeMa texted us later in the day to let us know they all still had ten fingers when they were done, ha!
