An Outer Banks First-Timer

This week's Memory Monday submission comes to us from Elizabeth Phillips of Gainesville, Virginia who stayed with Outer Banks Blue in our Nags Head vacation rental property "Just For You" in 2009.

This priceless picture is of her toddler Lucas as he puts his feet in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in his life. What a great moment, and what a great picture!

Elizabeth and her family have been coming to the beach for about 9 years, and she explains that she wanted to introduce her son to their family tradition.

"The first day we got there, we walked across the street to the beach. We wanted to introduce our son, Lucas to his very first beach before the sun set. He was almost a year and a half at the time and he absolutely loved it. His face lit up (literally) and he giggled with such delight every time the waves rolled in and touched his toes. From the looks of it, his Dad enjoyed the moment just as much as he did. We can't wait to return."

We can't wait to have you and your family back to the Outer Banks either Elizabeth. Thanks for your submission for our "Memory Monday" photography contest.

Remember to send your photographic memories to us and you will be entered into our contest. We post photos here every week, and we pick one winner a month out of our hat to receive a $100 credit towards a 2010 Outer Banks vacation at Outer Banks Blue!
