Family Vacation, Girl Style

My mom planned awesome vacation and rented a huge house in Duck, NC. Then came hurricane Irene, but even mother nature couldn't keep us from the beach! We lost 2 days of our vacation, but as soon as officials allowed people to get back on the island we were all packed and on our way. Some people couldn't make it so it ended up being a girls vacation with the exception of the very manly men, Dan and Mike. Mom and Mike came from VA, my sister and nieces from PA, and the Riggs from IN. We had a BLAST! I got in some much needed bonding time with my mom and sister, Emma got to spend time with her cousins, Mike escaped to lots of golf and Dan..well Dan endured the girls :)
