OBX Bound...but first, Williamsburg...

We had been counting down the days to our annual OBX vacation and finally departure day had arrived! This year we did a lot of prep and finagling so we could get the golf cart into the bed of the truck - keeping us from having to take two cars. I have to give Andy a lot of credit for working so hard at this as it all came together and we had quite the set-up as we rolled out of our driveway - bikes, golf cart, camper - oh my! 

Of course what trip to the Outer Banks would be complete without a pit-sop in Williamsburg!? We booked two nights at our favorite KOA and it served as the perfect kick-off to our beach vacation. The boys had so much fun playing at park, bouncing on the jumping pillow and checking out their new gravity swing - it was really cool and I'm still regretting not giving it a go - next time for sure. 

We spent some quality time at the pool and were disappointed to learn that Harper had formed some kind of weird fear of the water since our spring break trip - hmmm. That was something we'd work on as our trip progressed. 

We also worked in a visit to Bush Gardens. The weather was not ideal but the rain accomplished a few things - it kept us cool, it kept us from getting sun burned before we even got to the beach part of our trip, and best of all - it kept the crowds away. We got to get in lots of rides and the random bursts of heavy rain we actually found to be rather comical - something about getting caught in the rain that brings out the kid in all of us. 

After two great days in Williamsburg we were ready to hit the road for the OBX...
