Gone to Carolina, Segway tour of Historic Corolla...

When planning this Carolinas trip, 
we found lots of fun options for our 
"let's try something new" bucket list activity. 
We narrowed it down to hang gliding, surfing, or riding Segways. 

A Segway Tour of Historic Corolla on the Outer Banks won. 

The morning of the Segway tour came and I was a little nervous 
but our guide, Justin, was terrific. 

He had Hunter hop right up and show us how it was done. 
The twigs were total naturals. 
We all practiced in the parking lot behind the Segway shop 
before we were turned loose on Corolla. 



We had to be able to get on and off the Segway without help
(which was harder for some of us than you might imagine), 
make the contraption go forward, stop, and do a zero point turn.
We also had to be able to line up the chubby Segway wheels 
so we could go through spaces barely larger than them. 

It really wasn't long and we were on our way. 




Justin told us the history of the Outer Banks 
and showed us the Whalehead Club




and the Currituck Lighthouse. 





The history was interesting but mostly, 
we just loved zipping around on the segways!! haha




Sign us up - we're ready and raring to ride Segways anytime!
