We have finished our two week stay at Lake Gaston in Virginia. Dad went through withdrawal there without cell phone service or Internet service for the two weeks. We were disappointed with the Lake Gaston Resort Park. Mom and Dad had heard so many good things about the park but it wasn't so great. The roads were very narrow and the sites were very short. The park had a bowling alley but it would cost $13.00 for two people to bowl one game. Mom and Dad didn't do any bowling.
Mom and Dad did take us on the road trip they promised. One day we traveled to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We visited the site on Kill Devil Hills where the Wright Brothers had their first flights with their plane, the Kitty Hawk. We also visited Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Roanoke Island. Roanoke Island is the site of Fort Raleigh and is where the Lost Colony had originally settled in 1585. We also got a lunch at Taco Bell which was quite different from our usual Happy Meals.
Tomorrow we arrive back in South Carolina so Mom and Dad can spend some more time with their granddaughter Peanut. They are real excited about that.
