After breakfast we went to Wright Brothers National Park, the site of the first flight. A quick tour and we were on our way home. The kids were tire of traveling and anxious to get home.
Trip Log
June 30, 2016
Arrived at the Outer Banks just after one and were able to check in early. We had a beachside motel and the kids headed directly to the ocean and they enjoyed playing in the waves. There was a bit of an undertow due to the high waves and the kids did well.
June 29, 2016
Headed into Charleston this morning and visited the Ft. Sumter museum but the ferry wasn't leaving for two hours so we drove downtown and walked around the riverfront. We drove over to Patriots Point to see the aircraft carrier and destroyer but opted out of the Ft.

Left the house just after 8 this morning and headed north. We arrived in Savannah around noon and headed to the visitors’ center and visited the curb where I fell and broke my hip a few years back.
June 27, 2016
Hard to believe the kids have been here a week and now we are headed north in the morning. We were going to leave later but we want to take a few days and don't want to be driving over the July 4th weekend.
June 26, 2016
Today we drove up to St. Augustine, one of our favorite places, to show the kids some history and to test the idea of the four of us being in one car for an extended period.
June 25, 2016
After pickleball this morning we all headed out to Eaton's Beach a very nice lakeside restaurant for lunch. Mainly because Bridget wanted to lay on the beach and we aren't headed to the shore until tomorrow. We strolled the beach and the water and they were both very hot so we just ate lunch.

Alesa took the kids out for pickleball and to use the exercise machines on the hiking trail while I stayed home for a finance call. And Bailey drove the golf car everywhere we went, he's getting a lot of miles in. The kids got to watch the Atlas 5 launch from our Lanai.
June 23, 2016
The kids participated in the 'Camp Villages' Dragon boating session. There were 3 boats manned by seasoned paddlers and village grandkids. They had a class and safety briefing, a practice session and then ran 3 races.

Had trouble getting the kids started early in the morning but they rallied. We went to the air gun range where the shooting club provides guns, ammunition, targets and instruction. Bailey and Bridget both had fun and did very well.
