The last time I was here:
Was here:
 |
| Around senior year of high school with my three favorite Joes. |
Before that trip, the only other time I'd been was here:
 |
| Around the ffth grade with Peanut, one of the greatest dogs ever. |
Because it had been so long I was really excited to go back. I swear my heart beats faster when I think about what the Wright Brothers did and the role my state played in it. History nut+Carolina girl=dangerous dorkdom.
 |
| Museum |
 |
| Replica of their plane. |
 |
| For comparison's sake, Joey and I with the actual plane at the Smithsonian in 2008. |
 |
| Hangar and landing field. |
 |
| Markers showing where each flight landed. |
 |
| Marker explaining historic importance. |
 |
| Me and the marker/giant rock. |
 |
| Joey didn't want to smile for the camera anymore. |
 |
| Plaque in sidewalk marking the centennial celebration. |
After exploring the museum, the landing field, and the new exhibits they added for the centennial, I started the long trek up to the monument. It was terribly hot and an uphill climb but the views are worth it.
And that was Kitty Hawk.
