KittyHawk, North Carolina

On 2nd of March, one day into the expedition I visited the  
 
 
Smithsonian in DC and saw the Wright flyer, the original one used by William and Orville in 1903.

On there I alluded to the fact that was part 1 of an ambition this is Part 2.

As a treat to myself on my birthday ,and being away from my little girls and wife I thought I deserved it, I was going to Kitty hawk, the location where the Wright brothers were the first to use powered flight .

I opened my cards that I had carried around from the family and was the first person in to the memorial park that day.

There isn’t much there.an exhibition, a monument, guided talk, but that’s not the point there is a strip of land running from a marker 812 feet out, this was for me an ambition fulfilled.
