Trip to the Outer Banks '07 



OK, I know it has been six weeks since I got home from the trip. I usually post while I am ON the road but internet access was iffy on the Banks and we were busy trying to do too much stuff in the week we were there. There was driving up and down the Banks taking pictures of lighthouses; bouncing across the sound looking for and finding dolphins (and thinking it weird to have corn growing in the background of my pictures of dolphins), Lynda and Heather going parasailling and me going hang gliding off Jockey Ridge, and trying to eat at all the restaurants we can. Don't forget it is two days of driving down there and then two days back.

Here are my pictures:

OBX '07: Currituck Lighthouse

OBX '07: Hatteras and Bodie Lighthouses

OBX '07: Parasailling

OBX '07: Dolphin Trip

No pictures of me hang gliding obviously. Lynda took a few of me in the air, but they are still on her camera.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable trip, and they three of us had a great time. It was my fourth or fifth trip down there (will probably be going back to finish up my Level I and Level II Hang Gliding Certification) and this was Lynda's third trip and Heather's first and they have already mentioned going back. They both got hooked on the parasailling. I have to admit it looks like fun, but as a non-swimmer, floating over water is something I will be approaching very cautiously.

Well, enjoy the pictures. Next trip is to Seattle and the San Juan Islands for photo-shoot of the Orcas in the area in a few weeks, so check back about Labor Day.
