Adventure: Cape Charles

Cape Charles Virginia beach

We had an open Sunday afternoon on a sunny, beautiful day. Bathing suits and beach towels were already packed in the car “just in case”, so we decided to head up to the Eastern Shore and visit Cape Charles. We’ve driven through before, and even walked on the beach, always saying that we’d come back when we had kids as this looked to be the perfect kid beach. And we were right! Read more

Celebrating and escaping

[Good news! At the last minute, we learned that we no longer need to move out of our house by Jan 1. The first thing we did (after moving the first load of boxes back to our house from the apartment) was go get a Christmas tree. We get to celebrate (a truncated) Christmas after all.]

We’ve both been feeling a little under the weather, so yesterday we decided to get some fresh air and spend the day outside. As much as I love snow, and I do, there has been something utterly magical about the unseasonable (read 80*) warmth. We visited the Eastern Shore, just to get away from things for a few hours…

Beautiful weekending

Husband and I needed to get away this past weekend. Just get out. Away. To something new. To lose ourselves if just for the briefest moment.

But we had obligations here at home.

So we compromised. And on Saturday afternoon we took off for a little adventure–driving up the Eastern Shore.

The day was as wet and dreary as our lives have felt of late. But in it’s own way, it was perfect, beautiful.

And Sunday continued the lovely as we attended the poignant dedication of the baby of a dear friend. We love being a part of true community with our friends here.
