Early morning on Roanoke Island.
The port in Manteao, NC. This is the town where we stayed.
Crazy turtles at the North Carolina aquarium
A seahorse at the aquarium
I think this fish's fins look like peacock feathers
Here I am trying to pet the manta rays. They were too busy for that.
This fish and his reflection are sad.
I loved the otters! They were so cute, but wouldn't be still to be photographed.
This is the little "boat house cottage" where we stayed. It was so cute!
Layla follows Aaron down to the water.
She loves running on the beach! She is running back to tell me that the ocean is awesome!
A close up of her smile.
Here we are on the beach near Nags Head.
Aaron, Layla and I on the beach
Looking down the beach. Here they let people drive on the beaches! So those are tire tracks.
Horseshoe crabs that didn't make it.
Layla looks at the beach in awe.
It was really warm the first day and we were the only ones on the beach!
a replica of the Wright brothers' plane at Kitty Hawk national park.
a monument to the Wright brothers. This is where the first plane flew.
The Manteao Harbor lighthouse.
The Bodie Island lighthouse, built in the 1870s.
The second day was really cold, and not as enjoyable for certian six pound family members.
I think it even looks cold in this one.
Aaron is shivering!
