This morning we retraced our route from yesterday back down to Hatteras via Kitty Hawk. At Kitty Hawk, we visited the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
They Taught the World to Fly!
Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where, after four years of experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights in 1903. With courage and perseverance, these self-taught engineers relied on teamwork and application of the scientific process. What they achieved changed our world forever.
It was a very interesting and informative visit.
Next we arrived at Cape Hatteras just in time to catch the ferry to Ocracoke, NC on the outer banks. We rode down the island to the next ferry which crosses to Cedar Island. However, the ferry was already booked for the day, so we decided to get a room and stay at Ocracoke for the night.
