North Carolina is an amazing state. The climate is mild and the winters are short. Temperatures are not too hot or cold. North Carolina has lots of beaches. I love to go to the beach. Kitty Hawk is a very famous coastal town because the Wright brothers flew the first airplane there. The Appalachian Mountains are also in North carolina.
