Outer Banks, Day Two: Lighthouses

On Day Two, we really were in the Outer Banks. Ned had the day off; it's the only day that we'll be here that we can tour together. We drove about 150 miles, first to Mass at a Catholic Church with a parking lot full of water and a vestibule with the largest indoor statue of Mary I've ever seen. Next we set out on a long day's drive, heading south, down the Outer Banks. We checked out the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and even went to the Lost Colony of Roanoke (though we were never really lost--whew!) The evening ended with a trip to a fabulous Harris Teeter for beer and chips for the big game -- Giants and Packers, two teams playing in a frozen tundra with Mississippi quarterbacks. Tomorrow, we'll head to Duck. So get ready -- there's an entire week of vacation photos on the horizon.
