Day 2 more pics



Along one of

the shopping boardwalks there was a place to have your picture taken as a butterfly...Dalton humored me! The kids and Dad in front of the lighthouse up at Corolla....I can't even remember the name of the lighthouse right now...maybe Currituck?

Nags Head Day Two

The Hoag's Family Portrait!!! Met a lady on the beach and asked her to take a couple shots of us. Turns out her husband is also a photographer! How cool is that! Kids playing in the sand...turning Dalton into a sand mermaid! Dayton and Jerad flying kites! Dayne flying and flying a kite!!!



Waking up at the Beach.....





ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's so beautiful! Dayton has already been shelling this morning. Surprisingly enough she isn't expecting to take home every shell on the beach. Just every other one! We found a jellyfish on the shore this morning. Jerad said "that's it I'm not going back in the water"!

The view outside our motel room as I'm typing

The jellyfish we found.

Dayton and her "booty"

Dayton & Mom shelling together.
We might sit on the beach today, we might check out some lighthouses, we might go shelling again, we might go shopping....we just don't know what to do! Boys are still sleeping....although Dayton is starting to get them moving. Our cells don't work while we are at the motel room very well....so if you need us remember we are at the www.seafoam.com

Jockey's Ridge State Park






I gave up on the video clip for now. For some reason they are getting hung up. Here are a few pics from Jockey's Ridge. They are huge dunes. http://www.jockeysridgestatepark.com/




We ate at http://www.pigman.com/ Pigman's BBQ Pretty good stuff!




kids want to hit the beach again so signing off


Wish you were here............Nags Head, North Carolina





We pulled into our motel parking lot, grabbed a couple of bags...entered our room dropped the bags, walked across the room to the back door and wha la .............. OCEAN!!!! The kids immediately began shelling and within a few more minutes they were swimming. They found out you have to keep your mouth shut while swimming. Salt water tastes like - well salt!! We already have about 10 lbs of shells. Dalton felt something on his foot and it was a huge seashell. A couple of people on the beach even made comment how big it was. I'm guess 6 or 7 inches long? We managed to drag the kids out of the water long enough to get rinsed off - which is almost impossible. We are headed out to find something to eat. We skipped breakfast and then thought we'd grab some lunch, but the ocean was just too inviting to stop and eat. Posting some quick pics. Wish you were here!
