Outer Banks 2013: Day 12, Tuesday June 18th

10:00 AM Just got back to the room after breakfast and, once again, I had a waffle :) They are just great! Today is the day we go home, which is very sad :( But we still have fun stuff planned for today before we start the ride home, so it isn't time to be sad yet :) 1:00 PM Just got out of the Roanoke Aquarium! :) Elijah took care of a turtle again :) Turtle... Turtle being scanned... Turtle swimming around in the rehab tank! ;) I thought this was a pretty awesome picture! :) 2:30 PM We decided to stop at the Christmas Mouse store in Manteo. It was so cool! It is like a never ending store, you keep walking and walking through more and more rooms, all full of cool stuff! I got a Cliffnotes book for my Summer Reading work, and we got fudge and candy from the general store :) 5:00 PM Just riding in the car... Me and Elijah have watched Wreck It Ralph and slept.  That is about it...  I am ready to get and move a

Outer Banks 2013: Day 11, Monday June 17th

9:00 AM Well we had to wake up early this morning... Since Elijah was sick yesterday we missed a lot of what we were going to do, and had to try and fit it all in in two days instead of three. But missing that day was worth it because he feels so much better today :) We had waffles again foe breakfast this morning, which were just as good as the day before. Now we are driving across the road to the Wright Brothers Memorial. 11:00 AM We just left the Memorial/museum! See, he is feeling much better :) Remake of the first plane Markers depicting the flight distances, see that one way off in the distance? :) The Wright Brother's Memorial Now we are on our way to Currituck Lighthouse! 12:30 PM We de decided to stop for lunch at a place in Duck called Route 12.  We know about it because it was featured on the Tv show Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. I had Chicken Tenders and fries, which were very good :) 4:00 PM We just left Currituck Lighthouse

Outer Banks 2013: Day 10, Sunday June 16th

8:00 AM Well my little brother woke everyone in the room up again today, but today it was because he didn't feel good :( I hope he starts feeling better soon so he can enjoy the rest of this vacation! Well, since we are up me and dad are going to get ready and go get breakfast. 10:00 AM I really like this hotel's breakfast :) I made my own waffles this morning! :) After we took breakfast back to mom and Elijah, and had breakfast ourselves, we walked down to the beach. It turns out there was some type of obstical race on the beach this morning and we caught the tail end of it as some of the last people were climbing fences to get to the finish line! :) We are going to Bodie Lighthouse today, but sadly mom and Elijah won't be coming with us :( Elijah still  feels bad so she is going to stay back at the room with him. 12:00 PM Me and dad just got back to the room! We had a lot of fun :) Something I didn't know, at some point the name of the Lighth

Outer Banks 2013: Day 9, Saturday June 15th

6:00 AM We woke up early this morning so me and mom could walk down to the beach and watch the sunrise :) 7:00 AM Just got back :) we found a lot of really pretty seashells and watched the sunrise behind buildings/over the water ;)  Now we are getting ready to leave and finishing up our repacking. I got most of my stuff packed up last night, but I have a few things left. I just had breakfast, a Krispy Kreme Doughnut again :) 9:00 AM Finished packing any getting ready, we just loaded the car, and we are now ready to go! We are on our way up the Outer Banks today, but first we are going to stop off at Emerald Plantation again :) 11:00 AM We just left Emerald Plantation, and now we are on our way off the Island :( We are heading up the coast to the Roanoke Aquarium, and then on over the Kill Devil Hills to stay a few nights! 4:00 PM Well instead of going straight to Kill Devil Hills, we ended up stopping at a shopping center in Morehead city... Which

Outer Banks 2013: Day 8, Friday June 14th

9:00 AM Just woke up... and ate more Krispy Kreme Doughnuts ;)  Breakfast isn't a fun meal to talk about, it is the same everyday! Well today is our last day in Emerald Isle... After this we are going to a few other places, but this is our last actual beach day...which is kind of sad 1:00 PM Well, to make my little brother happy we made a deal with him that we would go to the pool first this morning. We ended up staying at the pool until lunch because it didn't make any sense to walk all the way down to the beach to just walk back an hour later! So we swam and floated around on the pool all morning :) 7:00 PM We wanted to stay out at the beach as long as possible today, so we stayed out until now! I wrote my name in the sand :) Summer 2013 Look at this awesome sandcastle we found!! I am going to stay in this house one day... It looks like a Barbie House! And if that is Barbie's House, then this has to be Ken's
