North Carolina is home to one of America's most popular set of beaches, the Outer Banks. The Outer Banks is a long, narrow string of islands off the coast of North Carolina, about 200 miles in length. The OBX is full of gorgeous beaches, six of North Carolina's most popular lighthouses and wild horses. We are hoping to make a trip to the OBX in June with Debbie to check out the horses! I have also heard that you can camp out on the beach. I'm not much of a camping girl, but maybe camping in a warm climate with the sound of the waves as I fall asleep doesn't sound too bad. Maybe a certain sister(s) can come with me?!? ;)
Spontaneous Outer Banks trip in October 2009
Do you see Justin?Kitty Hawk, North Carolina is where the Wright brothers took their first airplane flight in 1903. It was here on the Outer Banks that an airplane was flown for the first time. And the Wright brothers are from Ohio, woohoo! You see, if North Carolina wasn't here, we might not have airplanes :)
18. Jockey's Ridge State Park
Jockey's Ridge State Park is one of the most popular landmark in the Outer Banks. Jockey's Ridge is the tallest natural sand dune on the East Coast. On our spontaneous trip to the OBX in October of 2009 we checked out Jockey's Ridge. It was really fun to walk on the dune. It felt like you were in the desert! It would be fun to see it during the summer and partake in some of the recreation that you do in that area (see post tomorrow!)
The coffee-drinking husband wants to go on a photo safari of all the historic lighthouses.
