As Still as a Statue



A couple of years ago, my family and I visited the Outer Banks in North Carolina. The Outer Banks was another exquisitely planned trip by my mother. We got to see so many lighthouses, climb up sand dunes, visit the Wright Brother’s Historic Site, and have a great time being together. I must say climbing up the sand dunes was my favorite feature of this trip.
When we were visiting one of those many beautiful lighthouses, the four of us spotted a cat sitting on steps. At first, we were sure it was a statue. It was sitting there so still. After a while, we determined it was a real cat. I took three pictures of this cat, but this is my favorite one. This trip inspired me. It opened up my eyes to the beauty of the world. North Carolina might not have been Hawaii or Florida, but it certainly had the same amount of beauty. It had the beauty of history mixed with serenity especially when you visit during March. The many lighthouses that you see driving down the coastline stand tall with visitors admiring their beauty. Also, animals could roam around without fear, which made for an amazing trip.
                My trip to the Outer Banks made me realize that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have an enjoyable time. Have you ever had a trip like that?
