What fun it was cruising along the road in an RV. Mandy was a complete sweetheart. She took the front seat often, which she did when she and Brian were alone, and it was very funny to see the dog riding along as a passenger. Chelsea and I loved staring out the window at the scenery, and having time to read during the day. We chatted desultorily with Brian, and just generally had a great time. We opted for stopping in Kitty Hawk for the night, since Brian was interested in seeing the Wright Brother’s Museum there.
We found a great RV camping spot right on the ocean. We got signed in and set up, then we took off for lunch and to see the museum. I wasn’t too thrilled about seeing the museum, but I must admit to having quite a bit of fun there. It was extremely interesting to see how people lived on the island back in the Wright Brother’s day…what a far cry from the present day. Even though Brian was the one most interested originally in seeing the museum and grounds, I nearly outdid his patience with being there. 🙂
We walked on the beach quickly in the afternoon, then we had a wonderful dinner at a really nice place right on the waterfront. Brian treated us to a variety of different beers, and our food was just amazingly well presented and well done. After our long weeks of camping food, it was an especial treat.
Chelsea and I had planned to set up our tent outside the RV, but the campground forbad tent camping, so we ended up sharing a space that would have ordinarily been for one small person. I spent the entire night in one spot, with my face about 2 inches from the wall. It was a long night.
We had time for a long walk on the beach next morning, and what a gorgeous beach it was! We hadn’t had any time or chance for long beach walks in several months, so we took full advantage of it while Brian got ready to go.
By mid-morning we were off to Salisbury Maryland.
