Ocracoke Island

After Joni's wedding we drove 10 hours to board a 2 1/2 hour ferry to Ocracoke Island, my mom's dream-come-true destination wedding spot. Everyone thought she was crazy to dream up an idea like this: a week at the beach with both Larry's and her families and a few of her closest friends (making it about 50 people), dinners together every night, and a simple elegant wedding, on this not-so-easy to get to island. I have to give her credit, the week was a blast.
Audrey and Eric's first ferry ride- who is having more fun?

Beach time!

Mr. Grump Chubs and I at the beach.

Beach volleyball 'til sunset.
Our little cottage with the cool wood spiral staircase-
I was just glad Elliott was not walking yet
and Audrey is plenty confident with stairs now.

Once again, more make-shift beds.

The Big House- the late-night party and wedding house.

Lots of gaming of all kinds went on
until the wee hours of the night.

Stay tuned for next time when I post the wedding pics...
