Hatteras Lighthouse and Beach




Monday, after meeting Jim for lunch, we stopped by the Wright Brothers Museum and then headed for Cape Hatteras... After a pleasant dinner and a vow to wake up for the sunrise ('cuz Gramma told us we should) we went to bed and awaken in time for the sunrise that didn't happen - it rained!
So, we went across the street to a supermarket, bought some supplies and came out into sunshine! First stop was the famous lighthouse, and then on to the beach where we first came across a cordoned off square marked for a nest of turtle eggs... and finally, Joseph got to challenge the waves of the (much warmer than the Pacific) Atlantic Ocean...
