Lenoir, North Carolina

    After we went to New Jersey, our next stop was Lenoir, North Carolina.  North Carolina is known for their stunning lighthouses, which are humungous towers that warn ships where the shore is located.  The town that we talked with is recognized for their beautiful furniture made there.  The state of North Carolina has this enchanting college called Duke University.  We were intrigued by the photos we saw.  Finally, the people of North Carolina are known for their friendliness.  We agree.

    North Carolina is also known for a couple historical facts.  First, two presidents, James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson call this state home.  The Wright Brothers also took their first flight at Kitty Hawk.  Isn’t that interesting?
    Would you like to hear about the great outdoors of North Carolina?  They have beautiful mountain ranges, level plains of piedmont, and astonishing beaches.  They also have four seasons!  That is amazing!  In the summer, it is steaming hot, and fall is a beautiful time because of the colorful leaves.  Do you want to know how many snow days they had?  Okay, I’ll tell you.  They had 5 snow days so far!
    Some entertaining activities to do in the state include camping, visiting lakes, fishing in the streams, and hunting.  They also told us they like to play soccer, baseball, and basketball in their gorgeous weather.  At recess, they like to talk to friends, play on swings, and participate in relay games.  Prepare to have fun if you ever visit North Carolina!
