The Hampton Times

This was taken in Nag's Head at a go-cart track. Adrian had a blast cruising around.

Well, we spent the last 8 days in North Carolina.  The Outer Banks; Nag's Head, to be exact.  We left on Sunday morning, July 18th and came back on Sunday evening, July 25th.  Some high- and low-lights of the trip: - I got a speeding ticket in North Carolina (70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone) on our way to the house the first day.
