Lincoln and McKay left Saturday to go back home. They were flying to Florida that afternoon to a Eagle Scout program.
The rest of us went to Kill Devil Hills to have a game of miniature golf at Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure.
After playing miniature golf Tina and I went to Roanoke Island. We went to the Elizabethan Gardens and the North Carolina Aquarium. The others went to a movie.
I love big trees and there were a lot of them. One Ancient Live Oak was living when the colonists landed in 1585.
These topiary would have been beautiful if they had been kept up.
Me in front of the Queen Elizabeth 1 Statue
Sunken Garden (contains an ancient Italian Renaissance Fountain)
The Sunken gardens had a few statues, but had not been kept up.
The Gazebo is a traditionally made English thatch structure.
It was a nice walk, cool because of all the trees. If I went back I would go in the spring when the flowers would be blooming.
These fish greeted us at the aquarium.
Just inside the aquarium was this turtle quit.
Last stop Rita's.
Sunday we were up early and checked out and were on the road by a little after 8 AM and missed the traffic jam of driving home. It was a wonderful week. I love being with family. The Lord has blessed Sid and I with wonderful children, their spouses, and 14 wonderful grandchildren and what a blessing to be able to spend time with some of them.
