The trip turned into a lighthouse tour, as we visited three of the seven one's on the state. The first one was the Currituck Beach Lighthouse (link opens in a new window: http://www.carolinalights.com/north-carolina-lighthouses/currituck-beach-lighthouse):
It's located near Corolla and is the only one in North Carolina with a brick facade.
The next day, we traveled south of our condo in Kitty Hawk and took in two more. First was the Bodie Island Lighthouse (link opens in a new window: http://www.carolinalights.com/north-carolina-lighthouses/bodie-island-lighthouse), which was recently restored and is a real beauty!
From there we drove further south to the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (link opens in a new window: http://www.carolinalights.com/north-carolina-lighthouses/cape-hatteras-lighthouse ). It's been moved since my wife & I saw it last. At that time, it was very close to being washed out and it's wasn't know they would be able to relocated it. Luckily, they did and it's now a safe distance from the ocean. Could use a new coat of paint though. :)
