Hubby and I decided to take a "quick" trip to the Outer Banks today. We have always wanted to visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial. It was a fun trip, a little cloudy -- but only in the 80's.
One hundred years ago wind, sand, an a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, where after years of experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flight on December 17, 1903.
This flight lasted only 12 seconds, but it was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a man had risen itself by its own power into the air in full flight, had sailed forward without reduction of speed, and had finally landed at a point as high as that from which it started.
What they did here changed the world forever!
This is the Bodie Island Lighthouse.
My toes at the beach!!
