Where the wild things are...


Our drive onto the beach begins; that's Craig's SUV in front...


Buster enjoys the ride from the back of Frank's truck


We think this beach house is a little too close to the water!


Our first stop where we found the first groups of wild horses...


Uncle Frank being his usual self!


There they are!


The second group of them we found right at the water's edge


Amazing!


This black stallion runs right in front of Craig's SUV!


Currituck Lighthouse


Aunt Lois was one of the fearless to climb and has her sticker to prove it!


I know someone who loves lighthouses; (Mom, this picture is just for you!)


Back to the house and time to catch some rays by the pool...


A wonderful sunset to end a wonderful day!

Wednesday brought us the sun and a wonderful day of adventure. After another incredible country breakfast (we have got to stop eating like this!) we headed out in Frank's truck and Craig's SUV, both all wheel drive vehicles which were needed for where we were heading...) What a memory...

Being this far north on the Outer Banks we were very near the entrance to the wild horse sanctuary, an area only reachable by 4 wheel drive vehicles, a 12 mile stretch of sand and surf where only the brave dare to tread. So we were determined to go! We hoped to see the wild horses and we were not disappointed.

We spent time afterward at the Currituck Lighthouse where some continued the day's adventure by climbing to the top (214 stairs I hear; wouldn't know for sure since I was not one of the ones to venture up!)

I will let the pictures tell the story. It was incredible and an adventure we'll not soon forget...
