It’s crazy how warm the Atlantic Ocean is, so very very different from the Pacific. So we had a lot of fun splashing around.
Sunset golf! (And Moonlight walk!)

The temp was still perfection at Virginia Beach this evening, so we walked for some putt putt, saw an amazing sunset and had some laughs on the way. But the full moon over Atlantic Avenue wasWeiterlesen

While we missed the sunrise this morning and haven’t spotted any dolphins, it’s still a marvelous view. Enjoying some journaling and reflecting on God’s provision for Elijah in the OldWeiterlesen

It was a bit of hide and go seek at first… We could hear the Jets, but then we wouldn’t see them. Having them fly over us was stupendous!

We all got a taste of history today in Williamsburg and Yorktown and Jamestown. Excited for a real meal here in Colonial Williamsburg soon.
Good Eating indeed

In colonial Williamsburg, we ate at the Kings Arms Tavern - dishes, like duck and venison and peanut soup certainly hit the spot. Had no clue that history would taste so great.

Can’t wait to make the most of our nation’s capital this week! (Watch quick and you can see the Washington Monument…and then bushes!)
Takeoff!!

Unbelievable all of the exhibits they have at the Air and Space Museum. I know we are sad that some of the exhibits were closed off for renovation, our two hours here “flew” by!
Wet Stuff…Fun bus tour

Warm rain is still…wet! But everyone was troopers and we started getting oriented to DC!
Ford’s Theater is quite an experience
13. Mai 2025 in den USA ⋅ 🌧 66 °F
Considering the place where Lincoln was assassinated was truly quite an experience. Like everything else in DC, we wish we could’ve spent five times as much time there looking over all the details.
Who knew? Archives are awesome!

Of course, we came home last night and watched “National Treasure” (though Chris quickly fell asleep.). So interesting to see documents from our history, only four remaining original copies of theWeiterlesen

Sunny Bus Tour time
14. Mai 2025 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
Our bus ride today was glorious, so fun to sit on the top of the bus and see all the things up close and personal. It’s a big bus tour also has a really great narration with DC history.
Walking the Monuments

Put some steps on making our way along the National Mall to see the Lincoln Memorial. (And there were cute ducklings in the Reflecting Pool as well.)
Very special to see some of the notes thatWeiterlesen

When it comes to flat tires, I’m grateful that our situation was not too serious. One of our tires had been losing air and was totally flat last night, so I knew some intervention was required. SoWeiterlesen
