A Labor Day Weekend to Remember

So sorry I have been missing in action for a couple of weekends!  We've been rather busy.  Labor Day weekend we took a little drive down to Virginia Beach to visit my really good friend Julie and her fun family.  We had an awesome time.  They took us to the boardwalk, the beach, and the naval base lighthouse.  They cooked amazing meals for us.  We indulged in Brusters ice cream, played games, and talked talked talked.  Their kids wore Ty out :).  It was so fun!

Ty and Hannah at a rest stop before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.  This bridge-tunnel is no small feat! 20 miles long, $12 to drive across, and $450 million dollars to build.  An engineering feat and pretty impressive.  Also, they should have called it a bridge-tunnel-bridge-tunnel-bridge because that's what it really did...but bridge-tunnel is okay too.

We decided to bury Hannah in sand.  She didn't know quite what to make of it.
We also decided to bury Julie in sand.  Her son decided to start burying her face too. 
Molly decided she needed a photo shoot.
These were the best ones. 
Nick was not to be outdone.
The whole fam :)
We also visited the lighthouse at Virginia Beach.  It was on a military base, which meant it was pretty strict access.  They searched our car, then let us pass.

Best of all, I got to spend more time with Julie and her family.  It was so fun to re-connect and spend time with my good friend.  I can't believe it had been almost a year since we had seen one another.  Now that we know they live in such a fun place, though, we may be crashing at their house more often!  Thanks, Julie, for an absolutely great weekend!
