I spent almost a week in beautiful Virginia with my SM Sue and her entertaining DH Butch. Oh, and let's not forget their doggie Peanut, who after three days finally decided I was friend instead of foe, lol. I haven't been so stress-free and slept so well in I don't know how long! I am normally a light sleeper... SM informed me that I slept through not one, but TWO storms.
Despite being 93F and high humidity, we did a bit of site seeing each day.
Stay tuned for the next installment...
Despite being 93F and high humidity, we did a bit of site seeing each day.
OUTING ONE:
Yorktown Cemetery, Victory Monument, and Yorktown Beach
There were a LOT of unmarked grave sites.
Victory Monument stands right next to York River.
It's massive and an exceptional piece of art.
An interesting bit of trivia....
Even though it was a hot day, there was a fabulous breeze at the beach.
I had to test the waters.
Stay tuned for the next installment...
Looks like a great trip! Happy you got some good rest!

Looks like you had a fabulous time visiting with Sue. Glad you were able to get away from all the stress of your everyday life and relax for a bit; you certainly earned some time for yourself this past year.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many wonderful things to see and do in Virginia, Meari, and it looks like you had a great time visiting Sue and her family... So glad you got to visit a new-to-you stitching shop as well. I used to go to Williamsburg all the time when I was a bit younger, but never knew the shop was there. Nice new purchases (I just finished Old Glory myself :)
ReplyDeleteHope your July goes well!
Meari,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a marvelous trip! Virginia has such a rich history and I understand it is a visually beautiful place (giant oaks and horses, and much more). Your photography is awesome! Looking forward to seeing more.
