Spring Break in Outer Banks, North Carolina

We spent a wonderful break from the cold of Philadelphia in the Outer Banks, a popular vacation area on the coast of North Carolina. It was fortunate that the Peyrons, a fellow Wharton family, were willing to join us. We practiced a little French speaking during the week to prepare for our time in France this summer. While it wasn't tropical conditions, the temperatures were warm enough for a lot of outdoor activities with the kids.



We particularly enjoyed some kite-flying because of the prevalence of strong breezes in the area.




We also enjoyed the beach . . .








. . . a visit to an aquarium . . .



. . . and a pilgimage to the birthplace of modern aviation.
