This was our fourth annual trip to the beach. We had a good time but we missed our company! It was windy this time and the ocean waves were really choppy. We didn't get in the water much this time. In fact, I didn't even put my swim suit on. We did do some fun things though. This time we visited Cape Lookout Lighthouse. That is something we have never done before. Just off of Cape Lookout is where Blackbeard's ship "Queen Anne's Revenge" sunk. That is only one of some 2000 recorded shipwrecks along the outer banks.
We visited the aquarium and saw a few little shows. The kids got to touch a turtle and an alligator. My favorite thing was that I just got to relax. I read two whole books while we were there. That must be a record. I don't get time to read like that anymore. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
Cape Lookout Lighthouse
You can see in this picture how the choppy waves leave kind of a ledge in the sand. This hasn't been there in years before.
This is Tristan driving the ferry from Cape Lookout. It started off as blue skies that day. We toured the area and went out to the beach. In the distance we watched as an ominous storm approached. We hurried to the dock and Captain Jack was already on his way to pick us up. He hurried us back to Harker's Island where our van was parked. It was kind of scary being out on the water and seeing the lightning flash.
