Virginia Beach

On August 28, Jordan and I decided to head out to Virginia Beach for the day. It was AWESOME! We went hiking along the bay in First Landing State Park, which is where John Smith and the other people from England first landed when they came to America. We almost got lost because of the 20 million trails intersecting, took some pictures, experienced the flora and fauna, and then went to the beach to relax. Like Washington, D.C., Virginia Beach is less than two hours away from us. We LOVE living in such a central location! When we got to the beach, there was a wedding holding up all the people trying to get on the beach. Those people got married and left, and when we were about to leave, there was another wedding, haha! It was a gorgeous day. We also discovered, thanks to a tip from Wendy, that baby powder removes sticky sand from your body. It really works! We just dried in the sun and then sprinkled baby power all over and then rubbed it off. Yay for no sand in the car :)

This is for brother Jordan...a glimpse of a really nice car lol

Actually, I'm pretty sure the car was a Ferrari California (I saw the prancing pony, so I know it was a Ferrari). You can't tell from the picture though.
