Blue Knights Vacation...Day Six

Up early again, breakfast served by the hotel (thank God that's part of the fee) and depart for the outer banks. Get set up and kick stands up at 0800. Out in time but our ride leader is a little disoriented.....really fun was the turn around in a cul-de-sac of houses being built.

After arriving at Kitty Hawk we drop out of the group, take a break and tour the Wright Brothers national monument. Drove up to the booth and handed the man twenty bucks for two riders. As he's working I make the joke "AAA discount?... AARP?...Disables vet?"

"You're a disabled vet? I"ll do a refund."

He gives me my twenty bank and a lifetime pass to all national parks....ain't life grand.





























Beth and Jason argue over the first flight and we get to laugh at the two OP types.

Ride all the way to the light house we wanted to see and the road it blocked...resurfacing the road...in the middle of tourist season. What geniuses are running the transportation departments in these states.

Rode around the island then back to the hotel. An hour in the pool with some great people from Illinois followed by a couple of hours in the hospitality suite. Karaoke night....some the guys can really sing...then there are some can be used for torture at Gitmo.







A couple of more drinks and cigars with members from New York. We toast our hero Archie Bunker and call it a night.

Gotta go...at least can sleep in a bit on Wednesday....won't be in the parade in the morning and the ship tour is not until 130
