We had a wonderful time visiting the Outer Banks in North Carolina. The lighthouses are beautiful. I particularly like this photo with the sun behind the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. It was cold and windy on the Outerbanks, and mostly deserted. It had the eerie feeling that all the residents had left suddenly. Most businesses were closed, and row after row of enormous beachhouses were left vacant. We were assured that the Outer Banks are a buzz with activity from Spring Break to Labor Day.
We also enjoyed our brief day in Norfolk, VA. It was closer to fly out of Norfolk from OBX (as the locals call the Outer Banks), than drive back to Raleigh, NC. While in Norfolk we toured a retired Navy Battleship, and took a bus tour of Norfolk Naval Station - home of the Atlantic Fleet. 3 Aircraft carriers were in port. We could only view them from a distance, and could not step off our tour bus while on base. Sadly, we did not have time to check out the Chesapeake Bay bridge.
Of course, we had a wonderful time visiting Jared and family. It was delightful to share the circus with them.
