Wright Brothers National Memorial

Wright Brothers National Memorial, located in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, commemorates the first successful, sustained, powered flights in a heavier-than-air machine. From 1900 to 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright came here from Dayton, Ohio, based on information from the U.S. Weather Bureau about the area's steady winds. They also valued the privacy provided by this location, which in the early twentieth century was remote from major population centers.
It was soooo hot the day we were here....how hot was it, you ask??


That's a WATER bottle!! Yep, that's how hot it was! ;)

Lot's of scooter-friendly paths here as you can see.
