Beach #2!

Our second trip to the beach this year was to Virginia Beach, for the 3rd annual visit with Mark.

We had a great time hanging out and catching up with Mark and his girlfriend Sarah. :)

Our visit started on Friday night with a Rebecca St. James concert at Mark's church.

Then we went to the boardwalk and walked around a little bit.

Saturday was Beach day. We went in the morning and didn't leave until late afternoon.

Bill enjoyed the waves! :)

We also went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner on Saturday.

Sunday was record highs - 109 degrees, with a heat index making it feel much hotter.

We went to church in the morning, and then chilled out in the air conditioning at Mark's house in the afternoon for a bit. The crazy men went frisbee golfing (why??) and then we headed down to the boardwalk area to experience "Beach Street USA" and fireworks.

Sarah and Mark

An act provided by Virginia Beach for "Beach Street USA" - he swallowed fire!!! (as if it wasn't already warm enough...)

Monday morning we got up and packed up our things. Mark left us in charge of Charlie, his puppy - and he did exactly what he was supposed to! :) Once we were ready to go, we thought it would be fun to take one more last look at the beach, so we went and laid on the sand for a while, listening to the Navy planes and watching the waves... our last trip to the beach as just us - next year there will be a baby! Things at the beach will never be the same!

Thanks for a great trip Mark! We had a great time and hope to see you and Sarah again soon!
