jane finished grad school this spring and wanted to do a beach trip to commemmorate, and last weekend 9 of us convened at the outer banks to celebrate. we spent 4.5 days swimming and laying on the beach and exploring the town of duck and eating and drinking and generally enjoying a few days away from real life responsibilities. we laughed, we put together a puzzle, we enjoyed sunsets. we walked and walked and walked. we reminisced over old stories and made new memories. and we celebrated jane.
