Beach Trip 2007

Every summer since I was about 4 my family has gone to the Outer Banks for a family reunion with my dad's family. The only year I missed was the summer I was in Europe- it is always the highlight of the summer. Even Rob looks forward to it. All in all, there are close to 50 of us; my grandfather and his family, and his two siblings and their families all come for a week of lounging on the beach. This year Max was quite popular- he is the first 4th generation there. Here are some pictures of our week in the sun...

With so many people willing to watch Max, Rob and I were able to go on a couple of bike rides- here I am with my Havnoonian

We had a blast and only got a little sunburned- we're looking forward to next year!
