The Outer banks

The Outer Banks are a beautiful stretch of barrier islands. Their are miles and miles of sand and ocean as well as tales of pirates and their buried treasures. It is said that Blackbeard himself used to sail to these beaches and may have left....treasure!! We have seen many lighthouses and ridden on 2 ferries. We also learned about the importance of these islands during the Revolutionary, Civil, WWI, and WWII wars. From Blockade runners to U boat attacks these islands have offered a first line of defense for our country.

Boddie Lighthouse
We got to meet the last lighthouse keepers son. He was about 90+ years old and had many stories of playing along the beach and shipwrecks.

Ms. Hull on the Beach

Pelican
We spent a long time on the beach watching these guys dip into the ocean and grab fish. This one posed for us as we ate lunch.

Riding on the Ferry
Ferries are fun! You drive your car on...park it..and ride across the water! We even got a sunset out of the deal/
