We left Virginia on a VERY humid day after a heavy rain the night before. We enjoyed a beautiful drive of the ever-changing colors of the autumn leaves. We made our way over to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to travel down the narrow strip of land to Kitty Hawk NC. to the Wright Brother’s Memorial.
There is a very nice visitor’s center and exhibit pavilion and you can walk the grounds to see where their flights took place, restored buildings they worked in and markers showing the length of their 4 most famous test flights.
The park is beautiful with lots of walking paths etc. Well worth the trip.As we left there we drove through Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head before crossing a bridge west over to Roanoke Island and then another bridge back to the mainland. If we had continued south along the chain of Outer Bank Islands we could have visited Bodie Island, the resort area of Cape Hatteras (Hatteras Island), and Ocracoke Island of the famous Banker ponies or Ocracoke ponies brought over by Spanish explorers. We spent the night in Plymouth NC.
