After a leisurely morning, we went to Jeanette's Pier to see what the fishing scene was all about. Jeanette's Pier is several hundred feet long. I had thought about going fishing but discovered that there were already people fishing and it was very crowded. I wanted a good share of the Pier to myself or nothing at all. After talking with a couple of fisherman and seeing a few fish caught we wandered off for coffee. I thought about charters but disovered they started at about 6 hundred. A little too rich for my blood and what would I do with all the fish I caught? After coffee we made our way to the Wright Brothers Museum located in Kill Devil Hills. Now that was a trip. We saw a replica of the Kitty Hawk and the glider they used for testing their ideas regarding flight. I did not know how extensively they studied and tested flight until they were able to successfully build and fly the Kitty Hawk. One of the best exhibitions we have seen on this trip. Afterwards we went to the Outer Banks Brewing Company, Americas first wind powered brew pub. We followed that to an upscale restaurant and had she crab soup and crab cakes. Yum!
