first trip - The Carolina's

We just returned from our first journey. We had a great time in Virginia where we took in the sights of Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown.
There is so much history there - we concentrated on the Revolutionary war and will return for the Civil War sights another time. We then traveled to South Carolina to see my nephew and his family for a very long overdue visit. Then we traveled onto North Carolina (the Outer Banks - OBX) we met up with our friends and enjoyed seeing 4 lighthouses (one of which we took the 257 steps to the top) the Wright Brothers Memorial, took a ferry ride, crossed over rivers that look like our lakes. Dick went fishing and caught a marlin, a mallot and a sea trout. We actually surf fished on the beach - that was a very interesting way to fish. When we returned to Norfolk, VA we went aboard the USS Wisconsin - a ship that has seen every war since WW I.
Our trip was awesome and we are now looking forward to starting the RV trip as soon as Dick gets home from his dove hunt in Yuma.
I am trying to download pictures and as soon as I learn how I'll add them to our blog.
Take care - we will miss all of you while we are gone and hope to hear from you.
Dick and Phyllis
