The Great Lighthouse Tour of 2009

As the week progressed, it became very clear that we weren't going to make it to the beach much during our vacation. Rain and wind were a repeating theme throughout the week. Having never visited the Outer Banks before, we did what any other tourist would do, we toured all of the lighthouses.

Our family pic at the top of the Corolla Lighthouse. As you can see from my hair and Em's face, it was very windy!


Our family at the Bodie Island Lighthouse. It was closed for climbing due to the wind.
