Da Beach!

So this weekend, I went with my brother-in-law's family to the beach. They are moving to Colorado later this week and had one last hurrah on the east coast. We left Friday morning and drove to Virginia Beach. We spent a few hours playing at the beach and then headed back to our hotel in Newport News. The next day we spent all day at the beach. I don't know how many people realize how much I love the beach, but I truly adore the beach. I don't know what it is about it, but it cleanses the soul and rejuvenates the spirit. I know that sounds cheesy and cliche, but it's true. The kids had a blast and Lori (My sister-in-law who gets really bad headaches when she spends too much time in the heat) actually had a pretty good time. We went to church on Sunday with a friend of Lori's who used to live in Raleigh and then spent the rest of the day at her house with her and her kids. Susan's (Lori's friend) husband is in the Navy and is currently deployed somewhere in the Atlantic (or so we assume). On Monday, we went to Water Country USA. We were only there for a little while because Lori got a really bad headache. Needless to say that Savannah was not happy. She pouted the entire way home. Any way, I am back safe a sound and I'm going to try to port more often I promise. :)
