We attempted to go to the Sylvan Height Bird Sanctuary in Scotland Neck, N.C. on the way down, but North Carolina is closed Monday's. I promised the girls we'd go back. Today was the day. It's about the same size as the Lehigh Valley Zoo, and has the same loop pattern. But instead of being filled with lions and tigers and bears...oh my...it was filled with birds. There were areas where you could go into the enclosures. There was also areas where you could interact with the birds after passing thru a double set of doors.
And they had another one of those painted fish.
Next stop was the Cryptozoology and Paranormal Museum in Littleton. Main Street was filled with many vacant storefronts. This was a stop for the younger teen. She loves this stuff and it was her 14th birthday. The older teen promised not to laugh hysterically and was true to her word. It was a fun diversion.
All in all we walked maybe three miles. But only because we ate lunch and walked around the block to take pics of murals, ghost signs and a little house.
We bid farewell to the Carolinas. I will not miss being hammered by religious evangelism on billboards and front lawns.
