Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Dare County, along North Carolina's Outer Banks, celebrated its 50th birthday this past weekend, and the governor and his family attended the festivities.
The park boasts the tallest Atlantic coast sand dunes, perfect for kites and sunsets. The dunes fluctuate in height, but the highest peak towers at about 100 feet, making the mounds a destination for sandboarding and other sports. 
Gov. Josh Stein and first lady Anna were on hand to celebrate the park’s 50th birthday this past weekend. Both took to the skies to hang glide, and performers and some people from the crowd joined in on the fun.
