This day was packed with good stuff as we visited Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. First we went to Kitty Hawk to the site where the Wright brothers made their famous airplane flight. They had an exceptional storyteller who gave a history of the events. We veiwed exhibits and walked the path of their flight. The guide challenged us to put our selves back into that time and visualize ourselves as part of the day. You should have seen Ron's grin as he was "seeing himself" on that airplane.
Next we drove down the Outer Banks to Hatteras Island. I got my feet wet in the Atlantic Ocean.
We walked around the site of the fort of the colony that was the first English settlement in this new world. In the evening we went to an outdoor theatrical production of "The Lost Colony". It was an excellent play about the settlement of the colony.
It was a late night but a very good day.
