Outer Banks

We went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and visited the Atlantic Graveyard Museum. Lots of ships have crashed in the Atlantic. While we were there I offered a friendly wave to some marauding pirates armed to the teeth with swords and boarding axes. On the beach in Kill Devil Hills we saw a guy taking his dog for a ride on the boogie board. I think he was scared. We had a picnic on the beach, found a quarter and a nickel with my metal detector and when it got really dark we looked for crabs on the beach (with a flash light, not a metal detector). At first I was scared to death to hold a crab in my hand, but then it felt really good. It's pretty tricky to try to catch one. The next day we went to the sand dunes near Kitty Hawk and the field where the Wright brothers flew their plane. It's really fun to run on the dunes and there were no helpful historians there to explain to us that Orville and Wilbur were two different people.
