For our first trip out we decided to go on a lighthouse seeing and outerbanks tour, mainly since I've never been there. We got to see three of the major lighthouses and about 2/3 of the outbanks islands. We drove all around the Pamelico sound and over the intercoastal waterway. Plus we took a ferry over to the island. It was a blast!

Another view of the Bodie Island lighthouse to give you and idea of its height. And it isn't even the tallest lighthouse in North Carolina!
And, finally your basic straight-on view..
I'm standing at the top of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse which is the tallest lighthouse in NC and the only lighthouse which allows visitors to climb to the top for viewing. Man I look awful in this pic, lolol!

WELCOME!
It was an awesome trip and we had a blast! I just wish we could have spend the night and seen more of the fun shops and restaurants around the islands!
