Six more pages done today

I was able to work this afternoon on my scrapbook, and I got 6 more pages done. It is now Wednesday of the second week of our vacation.

The first two pages are in Buxton Woods, a hiking trail about a 1/4 mile from Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. It is amazing that all the trees could survive on such a windswept point!

The next two layouts feature stops along our way heading north toward Nags Head on Tuesday, May 12.

Canadian Hole has the best winds anywhere on the East Coast for Windsurfing - apparently enthusiasts come from all over to "surf" with their kites at this spot!

My last two projects for today were pictures from the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island. Unfortunately we caught the gardens in between Spring blooms, azaleas and rhododendrons were gone, not much was blooming. But we did see some amazing oak trees, very tall and twisted by the wind. They told us at the entrance that the gazebo on the property is thought to be very near the location of the original colony on Roanoke, where the first English baby - Virginia Dare - was born. The colony disappeared completely while the Governor of the colony was away to England, and the settlers were never found. (It is speculated that they were taken in my some Indians near Buxton, but that's only speculation!)
