Day 7 Part 2 - Manteo and Roanoke Island

After spending a couple of hours at the Wright Memorial Park, we went back to relax a bit and enjoy the beach one last time.

On our way back, asked Ben to stop here for a quick shot of this restaurant sign.  I laughed every time we drove by!!

Day 7 - Wright Brothers Memorial

Another beautiful hot day.  Decided to go early and see the Wright Brothers Memorial before it was too hot to walk around.  Didn't get to see the inside exhibit - but loved walking around the site!

Day 6 - Relaxing Day

Day 6 of our vacation was spent reading, walking on the beach and relaxing.  The weather was a bit grey - but at least the humidity had left!!

Not sure what these are - but they were pretty!

Bugs Bunny - we saw him every day on the way to the beach!

Day 5 started with a nice visit to Corolla - an historic village.  Not many old buildings - but still very cute!
