The Wright Brother's National Memorial

Today we went to Kill Devil Hills to see the Wright Brother's Memorial.  It was a pretty neat trip, love history.

The Wright Brothers
These pillars are how far they went on their first 3 flights.  The fourth one didn't get in the picture.  Way down there.
The Hill Memorial.  A pretty good little hike.
Getting closer...
 
Closer...
Finally made it.
A few pictures from the top of the hill.
 
Pretty good views.
Yes that is the ocean.
 
A view of the field where the first flights took place.
This is the place where they took off.
 
On our way out, a depiction of the brothers.

This is the a picture of the first flight.  Amazing that they have this picture.

    1. It's been like a diary for me. So much to remember, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep it straight.
