'OBX schoolcation' {respect for the Wrights}

*thursday, october 22, 2020*

On Tuesday we arrived at the Wright Brothers National Memorial just before closing time but when we learned that our admission would be valid for the week, we decided to take a few minutes to look around and explored the first flight path.  Today we went back to get a bit more of the history inside the visitors center.


Each kid (and adult) noted different bits of their persistence and tenacity as we walked through the exhibit.  Words for thought...


Next we took advantage of the beautiful, Carolina blue sky afternoon to walk up to the monument.  



A fast pace on our stroll back gave us just enough time to drive to the December 3, 1097 sculpture before closing time.  




It was a nice afternoon paying respect to two dreamers who changed the world!
