Dad's First Day in NC


We had such an amazing visit with my dad while he was here! The days seemed to fly by and I was very sad to see him leave but so very grateful for the time he was here. I was also proud of myself for actually taking pictures while he was here. Normally I am terrible at that. :-)

Dad has never been to North Carolina, so on Saturday we took a day trip down to the Outer Banks (Nags Head and Kitty Hawk). First we had lunch at Tortuga's Lie (my very favorite place to have old bay seasoned steamed shrimp). Dad enjoyed having steamed shrimp, a Guinness beer, french fries and watching football all by the beach. After lunch we went to the Wright Brothers National Memorial and walked around there for a little while. We also walked on the beach for as long as we could stand since it was a little chilly and dad got to touch the NC beach water. On our way home we drove him through a Brew Thru (drive through beverage store) and also stopped at a Try My Nuts store. Both are a 'must' while in the OBX!
