Back to Blogging

Blogging is like keeping a diary for me. I get excited and vow that I am going to write in my diary every day and I do for a couple of months and then it slowly tappers off to nothing, until I get motivated again. So I now have a bin full of half empty diaries, and a very sad looking blog. I would not say that I'm really that busy but rather I just don't find our lives any different from anyone else's and so I don't really have anything to blog about. When I do post a blog it usually consists of mostly pictures. So here are some activities we did while in Virgina for winter break.

We went to the Virginia Aquarium down at Virginia Beach.

The best part was the sea turtles.

There was even a sea turtle Nursery, with baby turtles each in their own little tank just like a Baby Nursery in a hospital.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

We also went to Colonial Williamsburg.

Adam thought he could pick that cannon up.

Little Rachel entertained me while we were walking around Williamsburg. She had a lot to tell me, but the best part was when I would get a head of her she would say "Hey You, wait up... You! wait up!" She couldn't remember either my name or Brian's.

Adam, Jordan, Little Rachel, Me and Big Rachael - Hanging out in Williamsburg.

Brian and I in front of the Governors Mansion.

Sandbridge Beach
The day before we left we thought we would take the dogs to the beach, since Bandit has never been to the beach. Bandit wanted his favorite cousin, Fitch to come along, so Fitch and Brian's mom came with us to the beach.

It was a very windy day.

...and I like long walks on the beach... J/K!

The Pups!
I just couldn't resist adding these photos that were taken with Brian's mom's fish camera lens. Buddy and Bandit look like the animals on those greeting cards, if you have seen them you will know what I'm talking about.

I wish it was jacket weather here. But we do have beaches...of course they are riddled with trash. We still want to come to New England...hopefully this spring...that is if we can get our $9000 bill taken care of.
