This summer we are going to drive down to Cape Hatteras and camp for 4 days. We plan on climbing the lighthouse, visiting Kittyhawk, and Fort Raliegh. Our young children enjoy doing the junior ranger programs. Would love to hear any other suggestions and any info on the campgrounds in the National Seashore.

On the way down we are going to stop at Assateague Island in Maryland before crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Looking for suggestions on where to stay, A hotel in or around Ocean City seems to be an idea. Also any interesting or must do restaurants.

On the way back we are going to Kings Dominion and would love to hear any insiders tips. Which rides to hit first, crowds in mid July, where to eat and is it worth doing two days. Also any information on hotels near the park would be appreciated.

Lastly we plan to do a drive through tour of DC to wet the family's appetite for a possible future trip before stoping in Baltimore to see Fort McHenry. Loking for suggestions for hotels and restaraunts in Baltimore as well as any intersting things to do or must sees.

Thank you in advance for all your suggestions .
