We were thinking about driving over to the
coast for lunch.
Haven’t done that in a while.
When we had a niece in school in Wilmington
we used to get over there in that direction more
often.
We also used to stop by an pick up a lamb
roast for Easter from this really nice family
over thata way, but haven’t done that recently
either. Just a bunch of lazy bums, we are.
I used to love the blue crab at a little place
over near theWright Brothers museum.
If you have been to the Wright Brothers site,
you really should go.
The fact that they started out just with their
little bike shop is pretty amazing. Way back
then bicycles were an oddity in themselves.
You would think they would have been
satisfied with that. The fact that they actually
thought they could learn to fly, at a time in
the world when nobody had really done it
just boggles my mind.
It is pretty inspirational to see Kitty Hawk
and the little hill that they actually took off
from. It’s a piece of history that I think
anyone with the slightest interest in aviation
or science should see. Even anyone not
interested in those things should go— it is
such an inspirational story of American
motivation and ingenuity.
