The Outer Banks

Today, after a lot of driving, we are in Corolla, North Carolina. This area is part of what's called the Outer Banks, on the Currituck Banks peninsula. They're a series of long skinny islands and peninsulas on the far eastern edge of the state.


Corolla has some awesome beaches. Plus this sand is perfect for construction work. This is my domain! I am king of the castle! I just hope the tide doesn't sweep me out to sea.

South of here, on Ocracoke Island, is where the pirate Blackbeard used to hang out. (Arr matey!)

Having loads of fun here. I hope we don't leave any time soon.

Washington, DC

Well, now I know where I am: our nation's capital! This is so exciting. I wonder if I'll be the first Lego person to meet the President.


That monorail-looking thing behind me is a Metro train. We've stopped at a station that says "Smithsonian." Wonder what that could be?


Well, I'll tell you, it looks like this. At least PART of it looks like this. The Smithsonian turns out to be a very big place, especially for a little Lego guy.


We went into the National Museum of American History and looked at the inaugural dresses and other gowns for First Ladies. (Tasteful choice, Edith Wilson.)

I wonder what will happen tomorrow. Do you wonder too? Let's wonder together, shall we?

It's an adVENture!

And the first one I've had for some time, too!


This time I'm going with my host family to... um... hey, where are we going? Nobody told me.

I guess I'll find out when we get there.
