Today we went to the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. We heard a ranger give a talk about Orville and Wilbur … and then got to stand on the exact spot where they successfully flew for the first time. Truly inspiring!
Also visited the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, or as Jay called it, the zebra lighthouse. Andy and Becca climbed the 248 steps to the top – an impressive feat, as it is the tallest brick lighthouse in North America. Jay was not yet tall enough to go inside, so he and I explored the grounds (a fire hydrant and a rocking chair were the highlights for him).
Back at camp, Becca found a kindred spirit … so we did not see much of her, as she and her new friend kept busy playing in the dunes, discussing books, etc.
