DAY 4: Wednesday, August 19

  • This morning, we will depart for the WRIGHT'S BROTHERS MUSEUM.  Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, NC where, after four years of scientific experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights on December 17, 1903. With courage and perseverance, these self-taught engineers relied on teamwork and application of the scientific process.  What they achieved changed our world forever.    
  • Lunch and browsing on your own in DOWNTOWN MANTEO, where you will find more than a dozen places to dine, and even a rum distillery. Sampling the rum will give you an idea of how the creative culinary minds there work.  At 1587 Restaurant & Lounge, a waterfront restaurant you can enjoy a bite to eat as well as their signature cocktails, craft beer or wine. At The Hungry Pelican, Poor Richard's Sandwich Shop, and Lost Colony Tavern, you will find sandwiches and other hand-held eats as well as that flight of beer. Olives serves up Greek fare with an emphasis on the fresh catch. Ortega'z Southwestern Grill and Wine Bar brings spice to Downtown Manteo with a definite flair. If you are in the market for coffee, Charis Coffee Co., and Front Porch Cafe have you covered. Of course, there are other bites to be had, but what's a getaway without something to discover?
