His Grace Multiplied: Back tracking to One of Our Adventures in May

In May we took the kids to the Outer Banks of North Carolina just for the day but we saw A LOT in that one day! First we went to Kitty Hawk. I really wasn't expecting this to be all that interesting about the first flight of the Wright brothers but I was very pleasantly surprised that it was VERY INTERESTING. The people that put the outdoor part of the museum together were sharp! They made it SOOOO interesting to learn about the first flight and all the outdoor walking was really fun. We trekked up Kill Devils Hill and saw a beautiful view. That hill is where the brothers sent their plane off from. We all REALLY enjoyed this trip! It said the brothers took turns flying which was interesting.

It was funny that we had a hard time understanding how the outside part of the museum was laid out showing the lengths of the different flights but "A" understood their method and explained it to us and then we thought it was sooo cool!!

After Kitty Hawk we went to the area near where they believe the lost colony of Roanoke may have been located! Of course their is not much to see but still was so interesting! After we watched the video in the museum and talked some about it we were walking through the museum and little J went up to a map and ran his finger around the map and said "and they were never seen again!" People got a KICK out of him. He was picking up on the history too!!

This is near the lost colony location and is a real earthworks for

defense while fighting a battle!

After the lost colony we went to Cape Hatteras Light House which is the tallest light house in North America. It was decided that just R, C, and I would go all the way up (the little kids couldn't go anyway). I didn't think it would bother me except maybe getting tired. I was terrified because the inside of the spiral stairs had no solid wall and the railing was LOW!!! But we made it and it will be a GREAT memory for us. The view at the top was BEAUTIFUL and so worth the fear on the way up. I had to reel in the enthusiasm of my 8 year old coming down. His feet needed to touch every step, etc.
