Vacation Day 2 - Sunday, June 14
We had a limited schedule today for a couple of reasons. We weren't sure when the rest of the crew was arriving, and of course it was Sunday.
After getting some breakfast, we headed out to the Aurora Fossil Museum in Aurora, NC - a very very sleepy little town about a half hour from the resort. Sunday hours had the museum opening at 1pm and we got there around 10:30, but we were still able to dig in the fossil pit in the park across the street. The fossil pit is a pile of rejected "stuff" from the PCS Phosphates mine. We looked for fossils for about an hour and found numerous sharks teeth.
Then we headed up to Washington, NC, where we were going to go to lunch and maybe hit up the North Carolina Estuarium. We had a bad lunch experience at The Meeting Place, then ended up heading back to New Bern as the rest of the family was going to arrive. No time for the Estuarium.
Washington, NC is a pretty cool little waterfront town at the mouth of the Pamlico River. They've undergone quite a waterfront restoration I guess, and the downtown area itself is quite cool.
One note, beware of one way streets. Luckily for us it was pretty quiet, but we ended up driving about 5 blocks the wrong way down the one way "Main Street" in downtown Washington before we noticed.
Didn't really do anything worth mentioning the rest of the afternoon/evening.
