  • Here are some pictures from our trip to Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills, NC:

    We got there just in time for a kids' program with the rangers.  I missed the beginning (I was walking Biscuit around), but they made paper airplanes and tested them out.

    A good trip!  Very impressive to see all that stuff in person.  Those Wright brothers were truly amazing.
