9/21/14 - On 9/20 we took off at 8:30am to head for Swan's Quarter to pick up an auto ferry from Ocracoke Island which was 2 1/2 hours. Then drove a few miles and got on another auto ferry from Ocracoke to Hatteras Island. We stopped off for lunch and then headed to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. It was very interesting but did start to rain. We then headed further north since we wanted to spend the night closer to our sight seeing in the northern part of the outer banks. Since it was the week end we had some difficulty finding a room so ended up driving all the way to Kill Devil Hills. We got a room at the Quality Inn. We then went out for a fish dinner and off to bed.
9/21 - We left the room around 11:00am and headed for the Wright Brothers Monument and museum. It was really interested and we spend quite some time there. We then headed for Roanoke Island to tour the lost colony (first settlers from England) and a portion of the Elizabethan Gardens. We then set out to search for a place for lunch to learn that all restaurants were closed on Sunday. We ended up at McDonalds. From there we had about 80 miles back to the RV park. It was a great week-end.
