My recent trip

Tweet

My husband and I decided to finally take a trip. On Aug. 27th marked the first day we physically met nine years ago (met on Yahoo Personals) and it was our 6 year wedding anniversary. We left that day to go to Northport, New York where Hurricane Irene came in. It wasn't that bad. More heavy rain and high winds. In Northport, it looked like a tornado went through with huge trees uprooted from the ground and power lines were down. We stayed with my in-laws for a couple of days. We went to Washington D.C. where we went to the Air & Space Museum outside of Washington. After we found a restaurant to eat, we walked the city at night. We went to the Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial. You have to see it at night - beautiful. The next day, it was to the Smithsonian Castle, the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, the Smithsonian Native American Museum, the Madame Toussad's Wax Museum. We spent the night in D.C., got up early to go to North Carolina. We travelled to Beaufort, N.C. to the North Carolina Naval Museum to see the Blackbeard Exhibit of relics retrieved from "The Queen Anne's Revenge". We went to Fort Macon which went through five wars and to the North Carolina Aquarine. Next stop was Randelman, N.C. to the Richard Petty Museum. We spent the night in North Carolina the headed to Ohio where we wanted to see some sites. Based on the awful motel, we skipped it and headed straight home.
