Outer Banks

We drove up to the string of islands off the Carolina coast (the islands are called the outer banks) with our friends the Phelps (Adam and Jessica) We drove around Roanoke we saw the place where the lost colony  was last settled before they went missing (google it if you care about the story... because I don't know it very well) and we ate lunch at Big Al's which just so happens to be an amazing diner that we just randomly went to but were really glad we did!
Then we drove over to Kitty Hawk to see the place where the Wright brothers made their first flight. We drove down the strand to Cape Hatteras and saw the light house there (we didn't get to walk to the top of it because they were charging 7 bucks a person to climb it which was completely retarded!) From there we got on a ferry that took us to Orcacoke Island where we got some delicious ice cream. Then we got on another ferry that took us two and a half hours back to the main coast to Cedar Point. It was a long dang trip! We didn't get home until around 12:30 in the morning but we had a great time! 
Here are some pictures... Please keep in mind that I am six and a half months pregnant and not just plain huge :)
