Another lighthouse, and a Brew Thru!



Wednesday, August 28 - As we rounded out the day, we made two more very important stops.  The first, of course, is another lighthouse.  The Bodie Island Light Station was just closing up as we got there, but it was still worth the stop to walk around the grounds a bit.  If the Hattaras Lighthouse is the big brother, this lighthouse is like his little sister -- not quite as big, and a little more refined.  It also has a nice little entry house at the base, which Hatteras didn't have.

When we were on the Swan Quarter-Ocracoke Ferry, our new friend Kevin from Denver told us about the Brew Thrus on OBX.  Well, they are everywhere!  Not only can you drive through to pick up some beer, but they also have an extensive collection of seasonal t-shirts, which Kevin told us about.  (He had a few in his pack on his bike.)  So, we couldn't just drive by without driving thru!  Sandy was willing to buy a beer, but you can't buy single beers at the Brew Thru (only the 24oz-ers), so instead we chose to browse their options for t-shirts and other wearable items.  The staff was very helpful, and quite persuasive!
