campground review: first landing state park, virginia beach, va

First landing state park, virginia beach, virginia.   How ironic this is our first camping experience on this journey.  located on the mouth of the chesapeake bay adjacent to the foot of the bay bridge tunnel.  Here's our review of the experience...

the sweet:

Not crowded this time of year, great big private spots that back up to the dunes and bay, nice views, great waterpressure in the showers, no creatures except for sand crabs (there was a suspicious lack of squirrels?!?). Did some surfing and read The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb on the sunny beach. Great sunsets. Hum of the traffic sound crossing the bay bridge sounded like the ocean. 

the sour:

Loud sounds of fighter jets flying overhead every 15 minutes, played "count the spiders" in the showers, had beans for dinner two nights in a row.
