Vicki finally made it to NC for her vacation!! This is just some of the hundreds of pictures we took...
It didn't take us long and we had decided to get tattoos!! Yes, real tattoos. Though I am terrified of needles, I finally sucked it up and got one! With everything I went through I had been seriously considering getting one for awhile now.
(mine would be the red)Day 1:
The next day we were off to the Outer Banks!! Music was blaring as we were zippin' down the road...
...so excited!
Made a pit stop and sampled some Fried Green Tomatoes for the first time! They were delish! ☺
...also tried some cheddar...
...and apple fries, YUM...after all the junk I ate this week, no more eating for awhile :-p
When we saw the Piggly Wiggly, we had to stop!
After 5+ hours on the road, we arrived safely at our hotel for some much needed sleep!
Day 2:
Started off our day by going to the beach, just across the street from our hotel!
The wind was so strong that day we were literally getting sand-blasted! ouch
We collected lots of sea shells.
Followed this lil' guy for awhile...
Then we headed on over to the Wright Brothers National Memorial...
We could see the monument from our room.
It was SUPER windy!! Hence my demonstration...
...not good on the hair :-p
...Vicki holding on to the memorial for support, there were wind advisories all day...
...off of the huge dune, was the statue replica of that famous first flight...
...each granite marker shows the exact spot all four flight attempts landed...
The rest of our day was spent resting and hiding in our room from the possible storms/tornadoes coming. Luckily we just got a lil' rain and that was it. Thankfully the next day the wind was down to a small breeze!
The lighthouse was huge (it's the tallest in America) and just breathtaking ☺

Before heading home we headed further down the coast and saw the infamous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse...
The lighthouse was huge (it's the tallest in America) and just breathtaking ☺
Then one more stop at a random beach.
Some people drove on to the beach and were fishing, others were surfing...
One last look...
