First Landing State Park - Virginia Beach, VA

We we’re going to come here in September, but when we were getting ready to leave, storm clouds rolled in.  Checked the weather - flash floods, high surf advisory, rip currents, rain, thunder, lightning.  So we decided to reschedule.  How mature is that!

It’s Deb’s birthday, and we are having an Indian summer.  As usual, we head out on a week-middle (Tuesday-Thursday).  Deb has asked for a birthday cake (not happening), a dinner date (probably will happen), a campfire (might happen), a hike (delightful), a stroll on the beach (romantic), and then a nice movie (I’ll tell her how it ends, tomorrow...zzzz)

We hung out at the beach with our beach chairs.  There were dozens of dolphins really close to shore, breaching, smashing their flukes on the surface of the water, swimming back and forth in front of us.  Drex is still miffed by wave action and indignantly struts back to shore after being buffeted around, until he decides to try it again.

Dinner was shredded Brussels sprouts and eggs...interesting...with rice and chicken.  After dinner, we watched the sun set (from the other side of the “don’t walk on the dunes” sign...shhhh).  And then we watched the first two episodes of M*A*S*H. (A birthday present).  I’ll tell her how it ended, this morning!
