Virginia Beach



November 20th-One of the beauties of traveling off season in the fall is seeing awesome places with no crowds and great weather.  We were priviledged today to wake up to a glorious morning.  After a special  home church service outside under the tree in our campground, we headed to Virginia Beach.  We went to Damneck beach which is on the naval base.  This particular beach is where the Navy seals train.  It was beautiful and we virtually had the place to ourselves.  The weather was around 70 degrees and perfect: Not a cloud in the sky, not too hot or cold.  We enjoyed just relaxing and walking.  Janae loved dancing in the sand and Stefan makes sand castles whereever he plops.  Mark and I both lost in our beach foot races.  Man, can these two kids run!!!

At dusk, we stopped by the boardwalk on Atlantic Ave., in Virginia Beach and rode our bikes.  What a glorious evening:  balmy summer temp, pink skies and Christmas lights to boot.  What was a special treat was watching the girl cantor a horse down the beach.  Janae and I could hardly contain ourselves.  It turns out, there is a horse rental business right on the beach.  This has always been a dream and we may go back to do this.
