Driving to The Outer Banks, of North Carolina

We took our rental car and off we went heading the long way to Roanoke Island, and the Museum of Flight!




Most of the Churches in North Carolina have their Cemeteries around them.

One of our first stops at The Outer Banks information center, where a "fellow pilot" gave us the scoop on where to eat lunch!

Poor Richard's, where we bought Lunch!


Manteo, North Carolina
Today, June 20th, we are out to get to the beach!  Which we did by car, driving to Roanoke Island - had lunch while watching aircraft come and go into Manteo (KMQI Dare County Regional Airport) and then drove up the outer banks to the Wright Brothers National Memorial.


Lunch at a small park next to the KMQI runway, watching the traffic depart was great!






Near where we ate lunch

 The Whalehead Club





Watching these sisters perform was almost as fun as watching their Parents crack up at their posing!


One for the wall!

Wright Brothers National Memorial
We scooted across the HWY to a public access point and dipped our toes into the Atlantic!  Actually we misjudged the wave action and spent twenty minutes drying out on a wooden bench enjoying the View!


The Atlantic Ocean at Last!













Katie wished she had a suit.




















Then North to Currituck Lighthouse, then back to the motel in Washington, NC.
