Thanksgiving 2011 morning found us in a Walmart parking lot in Seaford, Delaware on our way to the Outer Banks. A good cup of coffee and a cheese danish and we are on the road heading south.
Heading South we took the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel which is the only way to really get to the Outer Banks without taking an addition two days along the western shore.
Coming up on the entrance to the first Tunnel of the Bay Bridge.The roadway actually goes through two tunnels. A beautiful drive in good weather but the absolute worst in bad.
Caming on the Outer Banks is very diferent from New England and many other places we have camped over the years. Lots of sand and very few trees. The only thing than a few low sand dunes sepperating us from the Atlantic Ocean is route 12, a two lane road. 
Our very own beach entrance.
As I mentioned no trees. We arrived to very strong winds for Thanksgiving but the sun was shinning and temperatures were in the upper 50's. As always we celebrating with a traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, home-made stuffing, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce and home-made pumpkin cheese cake.
