Thanks to Katie and Heather for the link-up!

How are we only one week away from July? How is that even possible. Last I remembered, we went on vacation at the end of May, I blinked, and now here we are at the end of June. 

Time flies when you're having fun.... or are just insanely busy.

It was a hit and some! The weather worked in our favor, I scored some steals at the outlets, Ryan got to play his little heart out, and we were with our friends and family.

Our cottage was right beside an ice cream shop. #winning

Thanks to Katie and Heather for the link-up!

Today at 4:30pm, I get to put my out-of-office message on and kick back for over seven days and get some much needed R&R.  Sun, sand, beach, and outlet malls are calling my name.  

In order to get to our cottage we rented at OBX, we do have to endure a 4.5hr car ride with our toddler that is deep into the "terrible twos."  Granted, a 4.5hr ride is much more doable than when we lived in TN, and had 15hr rides... but if you are a mom or dad and have a toddler, even a 10 minute drive to the grocery store can seem too long.
