Tuesday, July 1, 2008-Frisco Campground, NC

Well the Gingerbread Bakery and Pizza was not bad, but it can't be the beat pizza on the island. When we went in, I asked if it was the best pizza on the island like the sign said and the teenage boy behind the counter just smiled. I think we knew then what to expect.

Today, we decided to drive north of Kitty Hawk to see the Currituck Lighthouse. We stated out after breakfast and drove to Nags Head. Several weeks ago, I noticed a small bump on the roof of my mouth. It felt like a sore that you get when you drink something too hot and it burns your mouth. Either that or a small gum sore. Anyway, we decided to stop at an urgent care facility in Nags Head. The physician's assistant did not  know what it was, but prescribed some antibiotics in case it was an infection.  I will keep an eye (tongue?) on it and see if it heals. If not, I will have Dr. Helton look at it when I get home.

We proceeded to the Rite-Aid pharmacy and had the prescription filled. It was to take forty minutes, so we went to the McDonald's down the street for a quick lunch. We picked up the antibiotics and went to Wal-Mart for some more books for Sue. We also bought some American flags to put out for the Fourth of July.

The lighthouse was twenty miles further up the coast. Because we took so much time at the urgent care facility, we decided to return to Frisco Campground. We bought diesel, which is twenty-five cents a gallon less here, and drove back to Frisco.

We renewed our site through Sunday, July sixth and will leave for Shenandoah National Park on Monday, July seventh. We don't like to travel over holidays and the big crowd should be home by then. We have reservations at Big Meadow Campground through Friday, July 11, and will leave Saturday, July 12. We will either move to another site at Big Meadow, or start down to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
