Last night at the beach...

Wright Brothers Memorial

We went to the memorial today with an hour to spare before they
closed! We heard a cool talk from a park ranger about the first
motorized flight (12 seconds).

Location of first flight:

Then we picked up a couple of slices of pizza and headed here:

Day 6.5 Roanoke & Wright Brothers

Slept in AGAIN but managed to head out in the pouring rain to Dunkin Donuts for a latte and donut. I can't wait to get home for the simple reason of being easier for me to get more FIBER in my diet...OMG...I need veg and oatmeal and water on a regular basis or else.

Ahem...anyhoo we did manage to get some sightseeing in today. We headed to Roanoke Island to the aquarium which was small but nice enough and had quite a few kids visiting. It took us about an hour to see everything there then we noticed a break in the rain so we headed to the Elizabethan Gardens. It was very nice but somewhat messy (especially for DH) due to the rain/mulch/pine needle pathways.

DH and the garden

Here DH has realized how dirty he and his chair were getting from the
paths.

Roanoke Island / Manteo

So yesterday afternoon we drove around Manteo on the island of
Roanoke. It looks to be super quaint area with a few attractions. It
was cold and rainy and late so we didn't see too much except the
Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse.
