Outer Banks Day 7

Today is a day to take it a little easy and do the usual tourist shopping that we have been ignoring all week. We saw some gotcha shops that looked interesting so we decided to take a look.

We stopped at a jewelry store and bought charm bracelets for the granddaughters with charms from the outer banks. We left there and stopped at a strip mall that had a large store with just about everything in it. We bought t-shirts for us and friends, hats for us and various other items to use as gifts.

We decided to go back to Corolla and visit the Whalehouse Museum. The museum was very interesting and we enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately, we could not take pictures. Since we had already taken pictures of the grounds, we did not take any pictures. Imagine a whole day of vacation without taking a single picture. Un heard of for the Keeling's.

After visiting the museum, we drove back to our quarters to have a snack for supper; pack up and load up the car for an early departure Saturday.

It has been a great vacation and the Outer Banks is a place worth visiting again. However, as Linda says, "It may be great, but, there are too many other places that are just as good that we have not seen". So I guess we will look to some other far corner of the United States for our next vacation.
