Last weekend I visited Roanoke Island again! But since I already solved the mystery of the Lost Colony, this time I thought I would just chill out with my peeps.
Like Queen Elizabeth!!!!!
Did you not know that QE1 and I are BFF? And that she lives on Roanoke Island? They’re kind of obsessed with her over there–everything’s all Sir Walter Raleigh themed. This was in the Elizabethan Gardens at Fort Raleigh National Historic Park. They have hedges shaped like things, which is my fave.
And plenty of sculpted butts, which is Steven’s fave
We also found this creepy sea gate, I don’t know:
This is where the ghosts of shipwrecked pirates stagger ashore, I guess
Then there’s the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the most famous building in North Carolina:
I don’t care if you’ve never heard of it, you would know if you lived here
Unfortunately we couldn’t climb to the top because it was closed for the season, but we WERE able to watch a video ABOUT climbing to the top, which is like the same thing, but less sweaty. I wanted to get my picture in front of it while drinking a Cheerwine just to go for maximum North Carolinaness but we didn’t have any.
Oh well
