Birthplace of Flight

While we were in the Outer Banks we also got the opportunity to see where human flight was born. From this spot, which isn't much to look at, humans learned they were able to fly. Wilbur and Orville Wright who were born in Ohio hand picked this spot in NC to build their flyer and make history.

Tux at Kill Devil Hills























Tux got to see the breathtaking sights of Jokey's Ridge Sand Dunes in Kill Devil Hills NC.We got lucky too, because as we showed up we saw some of the largest kites ever made. They had to be stamped into the dunes with a handful of spikes, because a human could not have held them in place.
