Looking at the prog charts for the next several days, Texas looks like
a mess. Moderate to heavy rains, thunderstorms, yuck. Our plan to
head south on Sunday is scrubbed.

So, we're looking at heading to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina instead.
The progs look great for at least three or four days, and I'm sure
there is plenty to see and do in the Southeast -- an area that we have
not explored very much.

While we're there we'd like to show the kids some Civil War
battlefields, some aviation museums -- the usual tourist stuff.
Figure we'll be in the area for a few days, and then maybe try to fly
over to Texas along the Gulf coast, once the weather clears.

Any recommendations?

I live in Chesapeake, VA. There is a lot here in SE Virginia.

The deciding battles of the War of Northern Aggression were right up
the road in Petersburg and Richmond. In Newport News, the Mariners
Museum just opened a major exhibit on the battle of the Ironclads. The
Turret of the Monitor has been raised and it there.

Yorktown is where the American Revolution ended.

Of course, there is also the Battleship Wisconsin docked in Norfolk.
And the Air and Space Museum in Hampton.

Let me know when you'll be in the area and what you are interested in
seeing.
