Sandy pants

I still have some sand around the rim of my water bottle and I don't want to wash it out, because it reminds me of the how much fun we had in the Outer Banks for Spring Break. We stayed in a sweet house.



On the first night we decided to take advantage of the big ol' house by playing sardines in the dark (thanks everyone for humoring me---I REALLY REALLY wanted to play)
We had a blast playing with everyone elses kids.

We had even more fun playing like we were kids on the beach and late at night.

The first day there it was really warm (but the water was FREEZING). Marci said she wanted to jump in and I got this idea that it would be really cool for all of us to jump in just to say we did. I said I was going to put my head under. Tommy said I wouldn't do it because it was too cold. Well that was enough solidify it (I had to go under). So I did. Not once but twice.

I really thought I was going to DIE! It was so cold that my lungs constricted and I couldn't run out of the water. Richard said I had to post the photo montage to show it but the 2nd and 3rd picture on the top row were probably the best to show how cold I was.

Fun! It looks like so much fun. Maybe sometime the medical and dental students could even do something together. I know it is a long shot, but just maybe!

We had the time of our lives! It wasn't quite the same after you guys left. Going for a dip was pure genius! It was so worth it...at least for me. I didn't go under! You are a brave woman!

Hooray for Spring Breaks! I've never done the Outer Banks, but I've been to Hilton Head. Not sure if they're anything alike, but I loved Hilton Head!
