Virginia Beach wasn't originally part of our route, but Ryan remembered that an old neighbor of his had moved there a few years ago. The beach town was a very pleasant suprize. It was reminiscent of the town Miramar in Top Gun as fighter jets screamed above our heads throughout the day. Virginia Beach, in short, is everything that Atlantic City wishes it could be (minus the casinos). The boardwalk had live entertainment on every block up the coast the Thursday night that we were there. From Virginia Beach we headed south then back toward the coast--we just cant get enough of these beaches! We had heard about North Carolinas Outer Banks as a popular getaway for New Yorkers and the like. What they forgot to tell us was that the sand fleas will eat you alive at night! But that sleepless night was justified the next morning as we witnessed not only one of the most beautiful sunrises, but DOLPHINS! It was a brief glimpse into some kind of dreamy fantasy world (minus the mosquitos).
