We flew from KC to Norfolk. The flight was pretty uneventful despite the turbulence. Then we got to Norfolk. Our flight was late getting in so we missed our reservation for our rental car. Not happy, then we went out to go to the hotel and the shuttle's had stopped for the night. Ha, yeah. So we just went to the hotel and decided to start fresh the next morning.
Our first stop we made was to the Wright Brother's Field Museum. We lucked out because we also were there on the day that the kite festival was happening. It was really cool to be there where history took place. We walked the flight path and even saw the places where the first and other flights ended. To even have the idea of putting paper and wood together just makes you really wonder what was in their heads that made it possible. It was amazing.
We were there early but this is the beginning of the flight festival. 
YAY ZOOM! This is looking up the hill. 
This is my friend Anne, she went with me. She really made the trip happen. 
Above all else from this trip I learned that faith no matter how small is enough. The greater your faith the greater the surprises and blessing God puts in your life. 
This was my side of the monument. My faith although dashed at times has been an everlasting part of my life. Thank you God for making at least that one thing in my life so unfailing. 
How beautiful is this. The Congress made this monument and carved wings into each side. The other side is hit hard by the sand and wind off the ocean so it harder to see. 
Our next stop is Jockey Ridge, it is beautiful. It is the tallest sand dune on the east coast. This picture is from the top looking out over Nags Head to see the ocean. 
This is us starting to climb back down. That family you see is about half way up the first hump of the dune. There were four on the way up. 
Me and Anne
The beautiful grass that grows out of sand.
Me being extremely happy I am still alive. It is a lot harder than you would think to climb up sand.
