Cape Hatteras-North Carolina

A few weeks ago, my family and I took a vacation to the outer banks, in North Carolina. Being a home-school family, whenever we take a vacation we also try to incorporate school. We try to take in some of the historical spots and tourist attractions. One of the places we went while we were in North Carolina is the Cape Hatteras National Sea Shore.
Cape Hatteras National Sea Shore was established on January 12, 1953. The sea shore stretches over 70 miles, from Bodie Island to Ocracoke Island, and is helping to persevere both islands. The sea shore is quite beautiful, and there are many nice shells laying everywhere waiting to be admired. It is a more excluded shore than most of the ones I have been to. It might have to do with the fact, that the waves are far too strong and too rough to swim in. The water is extremely deep and goes in and out very quickly. This sea shore is more for shell-collectors and walking than for swimming and lazy days at the beach.
From certain parts on the shore, you can see the Cape Hatteras Light House.
We went there. The original lighthouse was completed in 1870 and was about 1,500 feet from the ocean. But due to erosion, it was moved 2,900 feet back, from its first spot in 1999, along with two of the houses that sat beside it. The Cape Hatters Lighthouse is 200 feet tall. Making it the 23rd tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world. Both the sea shore and the lighthouse where very enjoyable and fun to see. I’m sure my family and I will have this trip engraved into our memories forever.

Wright Brothers-Kitty Hawk North Carolina

Wilbur and Orville Wright are two brothers who made the first successful fight. In 1900, the Wright Brothers ventured to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Their reason in choosing this particular place was because they heard that the tall sand dunes, produce good winds for launching their glider and soft grounds for landings. The area was also quiet and more excluded from people than other parts of the inland.
After many successful flights with gliders between 1900 and 1902, they decide to add a motor to their glider in 1903. After many delays and problems, they had their first successful airplane flight on December 17, 1903. They lunched a series of 4 flights that day, the last one reaching a distant of 852 feet. They showed us something that changed our minds about flying and something that changed our world forever.
