30th Birthday Party in the Outer Banks, NC


After working for 6 days in a row we decided to get in the car and drive just under 3,000 miles across the country to Corolla, NC.  This happens to be the end of our road.  Just in case you don't think we actually went from coast to coast....yes, that is the Atlantic Ocean on the right.


Here's a look at our route map.  We took I-40 for all it was worth!
 

All sixteen members of the Laning family got together to celebrate Elise turning 30 this year.  (She is the only one not pictured here! Hey, someone had to take the picture.)
 

The weeks activities included many things.... Like a ton of surfing.
 

.....Wild horses.
 

....Playing in the sand.
 

....Lounging by the pool.
 

....Watching scary movies.
 

....Bird watching, or "birding," depending on how serious you are about it.
 

....Playing in the pool.
 

....and drinking coffee.
 

....Too bad vacation has to end. Time for a quick 17 hour ride home. (hey, after 45 hours, 17 doesn't seem so bad.)
