First Landing State Park - Virginia Beach, VA

We (probably more I than we) decided not to take the quicker but longer interstate route from Smith Mountain Lake to Virginia Beach.  The only little hiccup in the plan was the commencement exercises at Liberty University in Lynchburg.  It turns out that Liberty University is the largest Christian university in the country/world.  Trump gave the commencement address in 2017 and this year, Mike Pence (the current VP, in case you are reading more than two years after I wrote it, and have no idea who Mike Pence is) gave the address which cause huge traffic snarls and the presence of  dozens of State Police cruisers.

Our site was the only site left when I booked it a few weeks ago...on the ocean, next to a boardwalk, isolated from other sites.  It must have been a cancellation since it’s the Best site we have ever had (site 190, in case I want to book it again).  One small problem is a major storm that has been predicted for the past week.  By 7:30 we had a tornado warning and we all had to congregate in the bath house for about half an hour.  Nothing happened here, although there were places where the tornado touched down in Suffolk and Portsmouth.

Tomorrow is suppose to bring more rain in the afternoon, so it will probably be breakfast, a walk, and off to home.
