Activities to Consider


Grandpa and I have run across some interesting possibilities to add to our "maybe do" list while we are maximizing our week on the Outer Banks.

There is an open air theatre there which has the longest running show in the nation.  It is titled, "The Lost Colony", and is a factual representation of the Roanoke Colony and the first white baby born in the New World...Virginia Dare.  It will be performed every night that week except for the Fourth of July evening.  The tickets are $7-$24.  Here is the link: Lost Colony.






Also, another interesting thought is about the history of the North Carolina lighthouses and the history about the Atlantic water currents which converge there at Cape Hatteras.  In Nags Head is the Bodie Lighthouse and we will try to get a family shot with our Reunion T-shirts there.  A great day trip down to Caper Hatteras would be an hour's drive each way and would be great for the older kids.  Check it out here: Sentinels of the Night

One note:  the order for the family reunion T-shirts went in yesterday and should be finished by June 8th.

I have bought my Navy and Khaki outfit and Grandpa's soft yellow shirt and Navy shorts for our family  portrait.  That  portrait will, hopefully, be taken at the beach.  I have to coordinate with our photographer (Jason) and make sure that he is planning on recording our great seaside adventures.

Any other ideas?????  We only have four more weeks and Grandpa has already made the last payment on our beach abode.  Everyone stay healthy and buy lots of sunscreen.  Memories of the best kind are about to be made.

  1. About the ticket pricing for "The Lost Colony", children 12 years and younger are admitted free with accompanying adults. The difference in pricing is probably due to seating areas. I think our "stage stars" ( Eden, Garrett, Mckenzie, Hadley, Anthony, Alexa, and Cara) would love it.
