Day 5: Tuesday June 2

Our campsite at First Landing State Park Campground
Isla got her First Landing State Park Junior Ranger pin

We packed up the trailer and headed out to Virginia Beach to checkout the boardwalk.

Virginia Beach was very windy with rows and rows of the same mini golf/t-shirt shops/candy shops. The beach was very clean. There were fighter jets flying overhead. We love watching the fighter jets but never ever want to see them outside of the training area!

We headed down the coast of Virginia to the Outer Banks (OBX). The drive was a mix of farmland with old subdivisions with big trees.

We can see why the Wright Brothers were told to test their planes here in the Outer Banks! So so so much wind! We did a ranger tour and she did a great job making flight make more sense.

The Wright Brothers mastered controlled flight by inventing a 3-axis control system: roll (banking), pitch(climb/descent), and yaw (side-to-side nose movement.

Our campsite at Oregon Inlet Campground Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

This map of OBX makes the area make more sense to me. Our campsite is at Oregon Inlet Campground which is near the middle.
