We had a smooth trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We’re staying with about 15 other members of Patrick’s extended family in a large 7 bedroom house. His cousin is hosting us for her sons’ high school and college graduations. We arrived, unpacked, thoroughly explored the house, and headed out on the town for dinner.
Sunday we decided to explore south of us. We stopped at the Wright Brothers National Memorial where PJ was able to earn a Junior Ranger badge. We learned how to make and fly sled kites out of trash bags. As we headed further south through the Pea Island Wildlife Refuge and toward Cape Hattaras, Patrick picked up surf casting gear so he could fish. We stopped at a beautiful beach in the Refuge to fish and play in the surf. We hadn’t exactly planned on being on the beach so the kids went in, fully clothed. I was able to post a couple pictures that you can access through the Photos page.
