The rest of our time on the Outer Banks was great. We really enjoyed ourselves. We got to see the Wright Brothers memorial and museum, many lighthouses, and Roanoke Island. We even went to the island of Ocracoke for a day which included a car ferry. That was a first for me! This island is pretty famous because Blackbeard the Pirate was killed just off of their cost.
We had a great time seeing friends and catching up with what was going on in their lives. On our way back home, we stopped at Duke Gardens. Oh was it spectacular!! Tom had been there before for a friend's wedding, so that is how we knew about it. Of course...we did end up going on the same day as Duke's graduation. So, YES there were tons of people walking around. Not such a great situation for picture taking, but we did manage to get a few.
I believe that wraps up my vacation. It was well worth the trip to see the outer banks....what a great land of beauty the Lord has blessed us with!!!

Glad you had a great trip. You were so close to our house- you should've stopped by! I've been to all those places in the Outer Banks and just love it there! Hopefully, there weren't too many tourists down there yet.
You look great Turbo! I miss you. What a great vacation. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. I shared your story with Brent's cousin, Bryan who went to BJ, and he said there were 8 verses in the anthem...YIKES!! :)
Carissa--yes, it was really quite an experience....nothing like northland's graduation. I miss you too!! I'm so thankful for our blogs and being able to communicate and see pictures more often. It does make people seem like they aren't so far away.
Shannon--I guess we should of planned things before we left on our trip. it would of been great to see you guys! There weren't too many tourists out there yet for that time of year. It was nice!!
Turbo - love the pictures! You do look great! Sounds like you had a great trip.
Great pictures! Glad you had a good trip - all except for the first sleepless night! Camping is so much fun though and worth the memories. It makes a great story later!
