I finally climbed the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (post move) and what great views from the top.<br /><br />The Elizabethan Gardens are another great place to see.

We've got a couple of photos of the lighthouse taken in late summer 1976 - we drove up the coast from Charleston, SC to Virginia and loved the Outer Banks. <br />No Elizabethan Garden memories, however - maybe we'll get back someday. <br /><br />Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-31293987320996566922009-10-15T06:55:14.603-04:002009-10-15T06:55:14.603-04:00If you were there in July, you likely saw half of ...If you were there in July, you likely saw half of the citizens of Virginia there.

We watched it on the news and were happy we got to go up inside when it was in the original location. Along the Outer Banks you can do a full lighthouse day. Start at the northern end at Corolla and see Hatteras, Bodie, Ocracoke, and if you still have a little time...go to Cape Lookout.

He picked the Outer Banks. Would you believe the only lighthouse we saw was on Ocracoke? We didn't even make it to the Elizabethan Garden, because Larry didn't want to pay the entrance fee. We did, however, go on the old homes and gardens tour that happened to be the day we were Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-65076355138691587142009-10-12T21:40:54.242-04:002009-10-12T21:40:54.242-04:00That's a part of NC I really want to visit!

And I somehow missed the Elizabethan gardens and that quaint bookshop. But if I ever make it back there I won't miss them, thanks to your post. <br /><br />Thanks for participating in the parks celebration!Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.com
