Plan B was better.
Plan A was to go to Williamsburg, VA with our friends to once again take advantage of Busch Gardens’ complimentary tickets for veterans. But…rain. I lived in Texas too long not to appreciate water falling from the sky, but on this occasion, those showers may have been accompanied by lightning. Wind. Maybe hail. Not wanting to crowd into shops during a shower, sit on wet seats between showers, or risk having to go home early because a storm shut down the park for a while, we opted for Plan B.
We had a lovely time in Kill Devil Hills sipping hot chocolate on a covered balcony overlooking the ocean while it rained, spending time visiting and talking, visiting the Wright Brothers Memorial (first time) and being blessed with the sight of a beautiful, enormous rainbow over the ocean, the photos of which do not do it justice. Oh, and watching a beautiful sunrise after the rain moved out.
Yeah, Plan B was definitely better.
