To the south of us was the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. On Bodie Island was Coquina Beach which the kids loved. Nearby was the lighthouse which was all covered up getting renovated. We went down the Banks to Cape Hatteras, where the Gulf Stream meets the Labrador current, there Tom and I climbed up the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. This region is known as the graveyard of the Atlantic, there are so many shipwrecks. Its also the point where the islands are at their widest and I took a short hike through the Buxton Woods. Another day, Donnie and I went to a nature talk at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. Donnie tried his luck at using a seine net and cugyht crabs and pipe fish. I also went there for an early morning bird walk, unfortunately on the day that a huge fog bank came in. Nearby there were some excellent nature walks we did at Nag's Head Wood Preserve and Jockey Ridge State Park. Also we went to the North Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island.
