Virginia Beach



Near the end of July, our daughter Jeanne came to visit us for two and a half weeks. We tried to go to Water Country USA near Williamsburg, Virginia, the first Saturday after she arrived. That was a big mistake! Vacation traffic was so bad that we spent twice as long driving there than we'd expected. Because the tickets are so expensive, we decided that we would go to Water Country USA a different day and go to Virginia Beach instead for what little time we would have. We didn't bother to put on our swimsuits when we got there. We just rolled up our pants and walked along the beach. There was a very cool Poseidon statue on the boardwalk, which was actually made of concrete. By the time we got home that night, we had spent 11 hours driving for about 3 hours at the beach.

In a day or two I'll post more about our summer fun and Jeanne's visit.
