Our Anniversary Trip -- Part 2

From Cape Hatteras we went to Jockeys Ridge State Park to see the sand dunes. They say the temperature of sand can get 30 degrees hotter than the actual air temperature. 



A lady was very kind to take our picture in front of the "Love Tree" at Jockey's Ridge. It is a live oak and black cherry tree that grew together at the base. The lady wished us a happy anniversary and many more to come. :) 



The we went to the Kitty Hawk Memorial. We listened to a brief lecture/demonstration on the history of the Wright Brothers. Actually sat with some friends that we just happened to run into. :) 

"...it is a wonder that they can raise anything at all." :)
Back to Jockey's Ridge for a picnic -- sprouts, egg salad, crackers, and trail mix. 

We found a little squirrel friend that loved almonds and raisins. 
As we were finishing up, some other people started to come to the picnic shelter, the squirrel flattened himself up agains the tree -- his attempt at hiding. ;)
