Sun day, beach day. We began at the colorful and crowded boardwalk area of Virginia Beach. The sand was littered with multicolored umbrellas, low-back chairs, and neon swimsuits. Since we only brought a towel and the weather was stifiling hot, we opted to spend our time on the boardwalk here.
Empty rides.
On the look-out.
Kind of ridiculous that they charged to go out on the pier...
But I managed to take some photos over the picket fence barricade. Take that, scallywags!
Too cool for pictures, I guess.
Warm water on my toes.
A perfect end to our beach day.
After the boardwalk, we found a great little cafe and enjoyed mimosas, delicious sandwiches with avocado, fried okra, and coleslaw. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon meal in a crowded, local establishment. Next we drove to First Landing State Park and walked a few miles on the trails. We saw swamps and straggly trees.
Along the northern shore and the Chesapeake Bay, we found a spectacular quiet beach. Alyssa and I read and napped while the guys played frisbee.
Too cool for pictures, I guess.
Warm water on my toes.
A perfect end to our beach day.
