OBX - Day 2

Were off! On day two Kevin and I went into Duck to check out some shops and see the million dollar beach houses!

First we went to the hammock store and got to try out a bunch. I so want one!
 Here are the million dollar beach houses right on the beach in Duck. They all had names it was fun to look at and creepily take pictures of! :)




When we got home we saw some guys surfing!
 It was a restful day and rainy to so we stayed in most of the time. The next day Kevin and I got up and went for a walk on the beach. It was 60 degrees and breezy but we were in for a surprise, we spotted several dolphins! The were about 100 yards out from us. It was so cool!

Kevin looks like he is wearing lifeguard shorts!
 I made eggs bacon and toast for everyone and then we went to the Wright Brothers Memorial. It was interesting and It was national parks weeks so admission was free! We got to see the gliders and the field where the first flight took place in Kill Devil Hills.

We climbed up the bill hill to the monument to take in the view...

After the memorial we went home ate lunch and then Kevin and I went out to the beach.




Kevin got binoculars from a pawn shop so we could see the birds and Dolphins better!
I made a small castle with my shovel and pail!
