OBX

Our vacation was awesome!! Outer Banks is beautiful. (I'd love to live there!) The drive was very pretty too. W Va and Va are pretty w/ the Appalacian Mtns. We stopped in Norfolk Va to a naval museum where we saw the USS Wisconisn and jelly fish everywhere in the ocean. We went to the beach everyday and brought home bags of shells. Brent & Hayley loved swimming and 'surfing' the waves w/ their boogie boards. Maddy wasn't quite ok w/ going in-she'd wade in. The waves can be pretty rough when you're little like her. At night, people go out w/ flashlights and find Ghost crabs. The crabs dig holes in the sand and hide during the day and come out at night. We went to the Kite Festival at the Wright Bros. museum. Brent & Maddy made kites and we bought a cool turtle to fly-we named him Crush ;) The festival were flying a huge octopus, alligator, squid and a bunch of other cool kites. We saw the Cape Hatteras light house. It's the tallest light house at 208 ft. There are 4 lighthouses in OBX. We saw this crab on the beach one day. We had picnic lunches on the beach everyday and ate out everynight. Awesome fresh shrimp and crab! YUM
