Today started off at Kitty Hawk and the site of the Wright Brothers first flight. Max liked the full size model planes, but wasn’t so thrilled with the rest. We went as far north as one can in the Outer Banks and ended at the boundary for the wild horses. Corolla is one of three places in the OB that still has the wild horses introduced by the Spaniards over 500 years ago. They are extinct in Spain now, Okracoke penned theirs, and there are no people on the other island that the horses live on. So Corrolla is the only place you can see the horses.

We didn’t have a 4 wheel drive, so we didn’t see them on the coast, but a Max got to pet a pony who was rescued after his mother was injured and couldn’t care for him.
We saw the Currituck Light house today too. It isn’t painted so its just red and was really neat. Max saw a kitty cat on the grounds and kept trying to pet it. I think he is missing his pets.
We did a little souvenir shopping then headed to our room to enjoy the beach. Tonight we have to pack up. Tomorrow we head to Williamsburg VA.

Great family pic. Jen is a little jealous of all the "history" you are seeing. She loves history and well I only like it once she drags me somewhere to "experience" it. We are definitely enjoying the history lessons. Don't forget anything at the hotel!!!!

If Jen has liked it so far, she would love this part of Virginia! I think we made it here with everything from the last hotel, but it is definitely more of a challenge with a toddler. Grandma is a BIG help!
