Outer Banks Lighthouse

While we were on vacation, we needed some activities to do when the weather was bad.  We spent one day at the outlets and one day at the Outer Banks Lighthouse area.  We walked all around the water and the little boat docks.  Brayden wanted to go over the big old bridge as soon as he saw it.  He loved that it was a really old rickety bridge.


We walked down the walkway to the gazebo and looked at the water.  We saw a bunch of geese and their goslings.   


We found a new walkway that we had never tried during our previous visits to the lighthouse.  It went through a little wetlands area.  Brayden of course loved it, because it was basically like walking on a giant bridge.  We found more geese and some frogs!


Taylor missed out on most of the walk.  She spent almost the whole time fast asleep on Jon's shoulder.  She woke up just as we were getting to the lighthouse.


This year, Brayden really wanted to walk to the top of the lighthouse.  We weren't sure he was quite big enough to make it up all those stairs.  We might have to try it next year!


Taylor woke up from her nap refreshed and ready to go!  She is always so smiley and happy!




Brayden was bummed we couldn't have a beach day, but he had a great time at the lighthouse.  As long as Brayden is outside he is happy.  Throw in some water and some animals and he is thrilled.  To make the day even more fun, we stopped at the town's little bookstore and picked up some fun books for the kids.
