Day 8

Nice slow day, only about 3 hours driving time to the Virginia Beach area.  I wanted to stay at Fort Story (Cape Hatteras) campground, but when I called, they said they were booked up.  So, here we are at Dam Neck Navy Base.  It is a nice, rather new, campground with just a smallish sand dune between us and the beach.  It was hot today, but a front has since moved in and the wind is blowing in off the ocean quite cool.  In fact, I’m going to have to close the door.  Ought to sleep cool tonight.

Joyce fixed some chicken breasts for sandwiches right after we arrived.  We were all three starving.  After dinner cleanup, we took a stroll through the park and planned on going out on the beach.  But, to get to the beach was actually quite a walk and neither Joyce nor I was up to it.  We’ll check it out tomorrow as we leave.  However, this cool front is just that, cool and the high tomorrow is predicted to be below 80 and cloudy.  So, no sunshiny beach here.
