Always nice to tie the two ends of a historical time line together. We saw where the Wright Brothers designed and built their Flyer and then went to the Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk where they successfully flew it four times . Our visit was timely because we were one day before the big 110th anniversary celebration, so we had the experience without the crowds. 

It's amazing how much the island has changed in that time. Photos of the flights show an empty unvegetated beach from the dunes used for the initial  glider flights to the water. Now there are trees and shrubs (and condos) everywhere.

For some reason, both Marina and Sophia have decided that the Outer Banks might be a great place to live.
