If you're traveling to the Outer Banks this summer, you might get lucky enough to arrive during one of 3 fee-free weekends at The Wright Brothers National Memorial! In an effort to help families planning budget-friendly Outer Banks vacations, the park is waiving the entrance fee for the weekends of June 20-21, July 18-19 and August 15-16. "During these tough economic times, our national parks provide opportunities for affordable vacations for families", stated Ken Salazar, Department of Interior Secretary.
Saturday was my day with Avery and we had so much fun! I took off half a day to take him to the Kitty Hawk Kite's Kite Festival at the Wright Brother's Monument... Traffic was wretched, but Avery was really patient in the car; he just wanted to know why it was taking so long and kept saying "Look at this Aunt Snef-nie, watch me!" Once we got close enough to see the kites from the car, his face just lit up and he got sooooo excited.Which, of course, was exciting for me. The weather was a perfect kite flying day...and there were so many kites to look at!
