    well here are some pics that i took of my vacation to the outer banks of North carolina. i went to kitty hawk and saw the wright brothers statue and i visited several lighthouses.

    fun fact: did you know that hatteras light house is the tallest lighthouse in the world? I climbed it :D

    this light house is not it

    [​IMG]

    this is the light house outside of corolla. and its pronounced Ka Rah lu. i dont know why but i made the mistake of calling it like the car. locals fussed at me

    [​IMG]

    this is currituck sound from the top of the light house above.

    thanks. I had a great time. i saw alot. we basically went from the top in corolla all the way down to Ockracoke island. I spent about 8 hours going down that far. but it was a blast. best part was seeing from the top of the light houses

    well, no. when we went up to corolla, we saw the beach access but they said it was only for 4 wheel drive only. there were jeeps you could rent out but they were a little on the expensive side. i would have loved to do that though

    there were also an ungodly amount of tacomas there as well.
