Museum was small, but interesting. Not much picture taking opportunities.

Outer Banks Day 8
Day 8, Saturday April 17, 2010
We are finally home. We decided to take a different route home. We headed west on I-64 to Winston Salem, North Carolina. We then headed north on I-52 to I-74 and then to I-77. We took I-77 through Virginia into West Virginia. We picked up I-64 near Beckley, West Virginia. We passed Charleston, West Virginia and picked up I-35. We did not stay on the interstate. We traveled local roads that paralleled the interstate as much as possible. The drive was beautiful, but long and we did not get home until around midnight.
We did have one interesting stop. We stopped for gas and to use the bathroom. Linda when in to the store while I gassed up. While putting gas in the car, an ambulance parked in front of the store. I went in to go to the bathroom and was told the front was blocked to remove a patient. I had to go to the truck stop. As we were leaving, we were told that a lady had slipped on the bathroom floor and had hit her head on the sink. She was strapped to a stretcher and was being loaded on the ambulance as we were leaving.
I guess we will sign off for this trip and get to planning our next adventure.

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.
