Life's a Beach!

Our July started and ended with the beach.
Not a bad way to go, for us
who are normally land locked.

Cam and I decided last minute
to head south and have a
little mini vacation in our new state.

First on the agenda was
 Busch Gardens in Williamsburg.  
Now don't be surprised
if you end up finding Cam and I living
there some day.
We fell in love with that
quaint historical town.

Next throw in there some outlet shopping,
2 days at Virginia Beach and
dare I say it....
you have got yourself a vacation folks!
We did it!
 We actually got to do something
besides move this summer.
YAY for us!

my batteries died in my camera early on at Busch Gardens.
So not too many photos.
Just know it was probably the hottest day of the year
great for crowd control not so great for comfort.




the boys all had a great time.
Mack decided this was the year to do some
of the big roller coasters, even if they
went upside down.

The usual thing happened with this guy as it does with most new experiences.
There was nothing I could do except drag him into the water in the beginning,
but by the end I was having to drag him out. He turned into a total beach bum!

The boys immediately wanted to try out the boogey boards and they had a blast!


The first night there we saw probably 4 or 5 different pods of dolphins swim by relatively close to
shore. It was so cool.
The next day we  saw large blue crabs, sand rays, jelly fish and lots of little fish swimming around.

Ok! So I am dying that you guys are there after we lived there for 7 years without any friends close by! We could have been doing all of these fun activities together!!! I am so glad you like it there. Williamsburg is one of my favorite places too! Did you go to Yorktown or jamestown? Those are a must also. :) Glad you guys are well.

Matt and I use to live in Virginia and we absolutely loved Williamsburg too! If you are still in the area next year for the 4th of July it is a great place to feel to some patriotism and see fireworks. I also agree with your friends post above. Yorktown and Jamestown are fun to visit.
