The Outer Banks was awesome!!! I took about 130-some pics but really didn't capture as much as i had anticipated. And that's ok....simply lived in the moment, soaking up sunshine with friends and Lovely.
Our house for the week: Carolina Kai. We very much enjoyed the hot tub the first night....and liked seeing it after a 12hr car ride with much traffic around D.C. and through Virginia....bumper-to-bumper traffic? Well, the beach was worth it.

After we unloaded the car, we headed to the beach.
The second day was gorgey.....we went to the beach twice. In the morning, it was a bit cooler but the sun made up for it. We buried Lovely in the sand....although there was already a hole there so we didn't have much work. Hey, it's vacation. No work required.
Showing off our abs for everyone to see :) ....just kidding. But i was pretty dang proud of my body. Running has become my new best friend.

We took a quick respite from the sand to do a little shopping...typical tourists. Don't be too harsh to judge. What would you do if you saw a giant chair?
....and then it twas off to see the wild horses the next day.

The waves were aMAZing.
We decided to take a walk....to the pier....which was over 2miles away...in the sun. Needless to say, we got a little burnt, some stares, and saw this pretty sweet sand octopus.
My bum was a little pasty.....i managed to get some sun on the trip after all. Yes, i have a bum. And abs. No, i'm not bragging. No, these pics are not edited.
Love your bod for what it can do. If you don't like it, i recommend some cardio....show off that bikini with some Victoria's Secret-inspired sprinkled sand hahaha
Buuuuut, coincidently, Olivine's Charm School, one of my favorite blogs for life and such, had the link to this article on Germany's Vogue and its recent non-photoshopped photoshoot. Aren't these women beautiful in their natural state?

On Lovely's birthday, we went to the aquarium! My sweetheart (hopefully he does not mind this term of endearment) turned 22!
