Family Vacation – Kure Beach, NC

One of our favorite places to travel to for spring break is the little coastal town of Kure Beach, NC. Just south of Wilmington, it’s nice and quaint without the big high rise hotels or many tourists. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy the ocean and family time without feeling like you’re missing out on anything else.

We rented a house on the beach with Brian’s side of the family. The sea water was a little too chilly to fully swim in, so this year we took advantage of the heated pool overlooking the ocean. My personal favorite activity was the daily bike rides to the point each morning. We also enjoyed many walks to the pier, sand castle making, and late night card games.

Most of our daily adventures were recorded on my phone, but I did manage to grab so shots with my big camera. The sky was mesmerizing and inspired me to want to paint. Maybe someday when I get a little extra free time I’ll try my hand at watercolors.

They won’t let me swap them out or move them!

When we moved into our home over 10 years ago, I put framed images of each of our kids above our fireplace. I had the intention of moving them when I found a piece of artwork that worked with the space. 

Time passed and I mentioned to my kids that I would be relocating their elementary portraits. 

I was not expecting their response. All three of them objected to this idea. 

In my mind, I was the one who really cared about our family portraits, especially the framed pictures on our walls. 

It wasn’t until I suggested moving the pictures that I realized how important they were to each of my teenage kids!

To them, those pictures represented their childhood. Those memories were a part of their home, their upbringing and their security within it. 

My eyes were opened to the value of a framed photographed that is prominently displayed in the home. 

It’s not just about looking pretty. It represents emotional depth in a child’s life. Something deeper than we will ever know. 

To all the parents reading this, you NEED framed photographs of your family in your home. 

What would it take in order to make that happen?

Much love,
Rachel
