Every year since I can remember, my family -- including my aunts, uncles, and grandparents on my mom's side -- have taken a family trip to Ocean Isle Beach, NC. It's beautiful. You can see photos from the trip me and my friends took back in May for my birthday here. Here are some photos from this year's family trip -- always a blast! There's a great photo of me and my aunts and cousins about to board the casino boat, which I road for the first time this year (and lost $100 very quickly!). I'll scan it and upload it soon. Until then, enjoy these!

My aunt, not liking her hand!
