Wright Brothers Memorial


While in the Outer Banks, we walked the dogs around at the Wright Brothers Memorial in Kitty Hawk.
 
I'm not an aviation or history buff, but I still found it interesting. The monument and statues provided some good photo opportunities  :) 
 
Trekking up the large hill to the monument. Porter says "Thank goodness for 4-Paw-Drive!"
I guess this was originally one of the dunes they soared from.
But they reworked it from sand to something that would hold a monument  :)

 

I love this photo.


John is such a good sport when it comes to my photo-taking  :)

Stout is slowly becoming the super model that Porter is: his poses are improving (along with his "stays")

This was a life-size recreation of the first flight.
Right behind my head is the bronze guy lying down on the wing.
This FREAKED Porter out. He barked & barked, and only barked more when the statue didn't move...

At the statue with the memorial in the background.

  1. Neat! I've never been to the OBX, so haven't seen the memorial. You would think w/ how close we are (5 hours) I'd have gone at least once, but we always go to Myrtle.
