The current Bodie Island Lighthouse has been in operation since 1872, although this was the third one built to service this portion of the Banks. The first attempt was so poorly constructed that it tilted right away and had to be torn down; the second one was blown up by Confederate forces as Union...

A long time ago I did paning for gold. Of course I didn't find anything but my friend did. We walked around I think it was some kind of park to see how the Cherokee indians lived. Very interesting.

An inviting tidbit around our new home is that it is the native environs of the Venus Fly Trap and the plant only occurs in the wild within sixty miles of Wilmington, NC. So this morning I headed to Carolina Beach State Park for the “Carnivorous Plant” tour to check them out. This beautiful St...

Needed a break from unpacking this afternoon, so I fulfilled a promise to my daughter to drop in at Tregembo Animal Park, touted as North Carolina’s oldest zoo and only about a mile from our new homestead. What is amusing about this place is the entrance - a huge, gaudy lion’s head with jaws ag...

The family went on a field trip last weekend to a nearby institution, the North Carolina Aquarium. This is one of three state sponsored aquariums, and being located just south of Wilmington, the aquarium focuses on the Cape Fear environs. It is also beautifully nestled in scrubby woods right along...

The Airborne & Special Operations Museum is located next to the train station in Fayetteville not far off I 95. There is no admission charge. However, if you are interested in going on one of the simulators there is a fee for that, but I'm not sure how much it was.
My friend and I enjoyed the museu...

Free admission but some special exhibitions you have to pay admission. Nice mix of old and new art. One of only two American art museums to have a dedicated gallery for Judaic ceremonial art. I really enjoy the Egyptian exhibit. I'll try to upload pictures for this soon. The musuem is currently exp...

I have read countless reviews of the tour over the web for the past several weeks. I was beginning to worry that the tour would be horrible and that I would somehow ruin my holiday in Wilmington. So I took the tour this Saturday. To be quite frank I went to the tour with extremely high expectations....

Appalachian Ski Mountain has some of the best powder in North Carolina. Their ski season runs from November to April and during the winter there is almost always fresh powder adorning the slopes. All-in-all there are ten slopes and two terrain parks, one of which was just added. The slopes vary to a...

Rafting in the Smokey Mountains is a terrific experince that can't be passed if you are in the area. The Nantahala River is a smaller river, not too rough for inexperienced rafters or those who enjoy kyaking. There are a couple of class 3 rapids and one or two class 4 rapids. For the most part thoug...

It's absolutely stunning how I have failed to pursue much knowledge on Native Americans, especially since I live relatively close to one of the more famous Native American reservations. So with my cross country road trip officially underway, the Cherokee Indian Reservation was the first stop on my ...

So it's true, I'm a kid at heart and doubt I will ever grow out of it. A friend of mine came to visit me and we ended up walking around Uptown Charlotte for a while. We ended up having a few hours to kill and decided to check out Discover Place, the kids science museum in downtown. We had an amaz...

A terrific light house. Unlike the other classic stations in the Outer Banks, this 158-foot light house retains its beautiful brick exterior with no whitewash and black paint. And it consists of about one million bricks! Nestled in the pretty Currituck Heritage Park, another attraction of this li...
