We are a little behind in our blog entries, so we will try to get you caught up with where we have been.... The weather turned warm so we spent a few days in Virginia Beach. We were able to take a much needed day of rest and play miniature golf (they call if putt putt golf here) and play Bingo at the campground. Allison won $8.00!! Hooray! The next day, we drove to the Outer Banks in North Carolina and visited Kitty Hawk. You may remember that Kitty Hawk is the site where the Wright Brothers first successful powered driven air flight took place on December 17, 1903. It was special to be able to see where Orville and Wilbur made their first flight, after seeing the original airplane at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D. C. They made four flights that day, and the longest was over 850 feet.... We then spent the afternoon playing at the beach where the sand is very soft and white. The girls read, and the boys threw the football... It is easy to see why the Outer Banks is a popular destination for those east of the Mississippi!
