Since Arthur messed up our plans for July 4th, We decided to make up for it 2 days later. We drove to Roanoke Island and to the beach and explored around there.
Roanoke Island- Virginia Dare, first English child born in America
Alligator River NWR Visitor Center is awesome!
Red Wolves
Discovered one of Keith's picture he took was used in one of the displays!
Neat place!
Guy Ate Here..... So did we! Ortega'z Southwest Grill
Manteo Harbor
Keith in front of the Colonial Ship in the Harbor
Exploring the Harbor
Brodie Island Light House
Flat Stanley visits the Light house too! Do you see him?
Our boys were so excited to go swim in the ocean
Watch out for Snow-machines? On the BEACH? ( I think they used the wrong sign)
We got to see our first fireworks in 4 years! In Galena July 4th is in the summer which means 24 hours of daylight, which means fireworks are absolutely pointless! And in January.... Freezing to death at -30 degrees just to watch them explode was not something I really wanted to do! So it was REALLY cool to enjoy fireworks sitting on a beach in the warm sand while the fireworks explode over the calm ocean. It was the best 5th of July Fireworks I have ever seen! Hope we can make this a family tradition!
