Ever since I was little my family would always get together with a bunch of their friends and take a big beach trip down to Nags Head North Carolina for summer vacation every year, which is about a four hour drive from my hometown. We would all stay in a beach house together and do fun activities throughout the course of a week such as going to the ocean all day and swimming in the pool at night, playing mini golf, go cart races, watching sunsets together, going out to dinner and then grabbing some ice cream for dessert. It was by far one of my favorite memories and something I will never forget. Eventually everyone’s schedules did not always line up and we had missed a few years of returning back all together. I still had the privilege to continue going with one of my own personal friends who I met my junior year of high school. Surprisingly their family happens to do the same thing every year as well and I was graciously invited to join them these past two summers which I will forever be grateful for. For my photo essay I would like to share pictures of the memories I was able to share and experience with people who bring me so much joy. I absolutely love the Outer Banks and that place is very special to me.
