Virginia Beach

While Jim was on vacation this week, we went to the beach. The weather has been miserably hot and a day at the beach in the cool water was a welcomed reprieve. It was a great day to leave Chesterfield as they set record highs for Wednesday, August 8th. Sandbridge was lovely, not very crowded, and loads of fun. The waves were very strong and very frequent. The water crept up the beach closer and closer to our blankets. We moved them a number of times; it felt like the ocean was chasing us! The water collected on the beach and created a little pool for the girls to play in and for the boys when they needed a rest from the forceful waves.

Unfortunately, this may be the last edition to the blog for a while. Julia was knocked down by a wave and while trying to pick her up out of the water, I was knocked down by another wave and the camera drowned. I'm not sure when we'll get around to replacing it. The ocean also claimed my sunglasses and a pony tail holder!
