Outer Banks, 2011 Touristy Stuff
Posted by Rachel
Each day we were at the Outer Banks we tried to do some touristy stuff in the area. My parents had never been to the Outer banks before.
Jockey’s Ridge
Wright Brothers’ Memorial
Kitty Hawk Kites
We went to Kitty Hawk Kites twice. Once with the whole family (the kids and my parents) and once just Dave and I. Dave and I had to go back just us as it was impossible to really look at anything with the kids there. Wrangling at times can be so difficult. Each time we went we bought kites. The first time we bought 2 butterfly kites for Abby. She had never flown a kite before. We had tried once before locally at a park, but there just wasn’t enough constant wind. At the beach there is always wind. Abby had a blast getting her kite into the air and watching it there. The second time we went we bought another kite that was a 3-D kite of a blue angel jet. It was awesome. Zach loved it and when we flew it he just kept saying airplane and pointing at it.
Mini Golf – Jurassic Putt
Abby did a great job hitting the ball with the club and trying to get it in the hole. She had lots of fun and loved the theme of the place. She still talks about it at home when we drive past our local mini golf place. She will tell me how it is the same as at the beach except that the beach had dinosaurs.
