Outer Banks – Day One
We left Hickory this morning at about 7am. We didn't plan to move too quickly since our hotel had a 4pm check-in time. We stopped for breakfast at a Cracker Barrel and then set out for the 380 mile trip to Nags Head. It rained most of the trip, and was cold, windy, and rainy in Nags Head. It was not a total loss though... Our hotel has a heated indoor pool and a rather large hot tub, so we partook in the goodness of those amenities for a few hours.
Dinner time rolled around so we went out looking for a place to eat. We stumbled across a place called Bob's Grill. We couldn't pass up a place with a slogan like "Eat and Get the Hell Out!" After a Philly Cheese Steak and some fries, we rode down to check out the Bodie Island Lighthouse. It was operating but there are no lights on the lighthouse itself. We're planning to hit that tomorrow, as well as the Currituck Lighthouse and the aquarium. I'm not sure what else we are going to do tomorrow, but we might visit the Wright Brothers Memorial and Jockey Ridge State Park as well.
