A Lot of Catching up to do....




John and I have been rather MIA recently, but we have certainly been busy. Back in mid-July we flew back to NC for some well needed R&R with our families. We vacationed at Ocean Isle Beach as has been tradition for the Sykes family for eons. Jim & Patti came down for the second half of the week to join in the fun. It could not have been a better week, and surprisingly it wasn't really even THAT hot. Mid 80's and low humidity. It was great to get to have both our folks in the same place and get to visit with the extended family as well.

We began our trip in RDU. Jenn picked us up at the airport and after napping we grabbed brunch at the farmers market. Mmmmm....fried green tomatoes.

Day one at the beach we're walking down to our umbrella and John thinks he spots someone he knows...sure enough it's David Earl his Freshman/Sophomore roommate at NCSU. Such a small world. Cheers guys!

Man we look color coordinated. The gals before we went out to dinner one night. Notice Amber's cute baby bump :)

Couple shots while we wait for a table for dinner.

More couple shots....Paul didn't make it down to the beach till Wednesday which is why Jenn & Paul are missing from the couple shots.

Mmmmm.....the creamery. I love having a pregnant lady in the mix b/c there's always an excuse to get ice cream. Go Amber!

Bocce but of course. Ken & Amber's good friends, Brian and Drea came up from Myrtle Beach for the day.

The "young" crowd. Drea & Brian. Jenn. Amber & Kenny, Karen & John
