On our adventures in the OBX, we took a day and went to Corolla, North Carolina just north of Duck.  Mileage-wise, it was not that far from where we were staying in Kill Devil Hills, but it took some time since the traffic was slow on the small road leading to Corolla.  And there was road work being done in Duck.  Our first stop was the lighthouse.  There is a museum (free to enter) and a gift shop.  One can walk up the lighthouse, for a fee, but my hip was not having it since we had been to the Wright Brothers Memorial the day before.

The first place we went to see was at a National Park.  The Wright Brothers National Memorial right there in Kill Devil Hills.  The cost to get in was $10 per person.  The park ranger was very nice and told us an annual pass to all the Nation...
