We had a great time in Outer Banks! The weather was a little chilly and it rained a couple times, but it was still fun! Thanks Dad and Mom for the great vacation!
This was the view we had from our motel room. Each room had their own little deck which was nice.
The guys went fishing the first day. I think they were a little disappointed, they only got 4 fish.
While the guys went fishing, we went shopping at a close by outlet mall. We also went to some souvenir shops, since it is off season, the shops had everything 50% off!
After a busy day of shopping, we went out for ice cream.
The girls had fun watching the water from our deck.
Chillin' on Grandpa's deck
One day we went to the "Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum". It was about Pirates and sunken ships, very interesting!
We took a ferry ride from Hatteras Island to Ocracoke Island. It was a 40 minute ride. It was interesting to see the other island that was pretty much a fishing town. I don't think I would like to live that way.
Our destination- Ocracoke Island
We had fun walking the beach and looking for shells.
The girls like to see how close they could get to the water. Amber found out the hard way why she was not to get too close when she got washed in and thought she was a goner!
Rissa like to find the smallest shells.
Treyton did very well being drug around and not getting his sleep.
We also went to the "Wright Brothers Memorial and Museum". It was VERY Windy and cold, so we did not hike up to the Memorial.
Rissa was paranoid of the seagulls, but she had fun feeding them some Honey Bun off our deck.
Our last night, already!
We had a very interesting trip home to say the least! About two hours into our trip we realized our radiator sprung a gushing leak! We found a garage, but they did not have the part, so we limped home stopping to add gallons of water every so often. If that was not enough, when we were 20 minutes from home, we got a flat tire! Since our spare was also flat, we had to sit and wait an hour for a repair man to come. Thankfully we had renewed our AAA membership!
So, our trip home was 5 extra hours!
Rissa got tired of waiting for our tire to get fixed.
The repair man had a noisy air pump. (:
Jenny helped to clean out the van, which gets very messy on a trip!
