virginia beach. it's not only my home, but it's also a vacation destination for so many people.  i've lived in virginia beach for over 25 years and i can personally attest that there is so much to see and so much to do in virginia beach.  i'm not lying when i say there is something for everyone. everyone. located in the southeastern part of virginia, virginia beach is a mere four hour drive {on a good traffic day} from our nation's capital, washington, d.c.  two-thirds of the united states' population lives within a day's drive of virginia beach. so, what are you waiting for? when i say virginia beach has it all, we have it all: beaches:  we've got plenty to choose from.  my personal favorite?  sandbridge.  of course, i live a mere twenty minutes from the sleepy, … [Read more...]

this afternoon i was going through a small stack of papers that aidan brought home from school.  most of it was stuff done in class and old homework.  nothing too exciting.  but, then i saw it.  aidan had to conduct a travel interview & write a paragraph.  apparently, he interviewed himself.    {written as aidan wrote it: grammar, punctuation & spelling errors included}The longest trip I took is to Northern Virginia.  It was 4 hours my family saw a fawn and I farted.  We travled 240 mi.  We took this trip to get are 3 month old bosten tarier Buxton.  Buxton jumped on me and farted.i am mortified.  not only did he write about farting, but he also lied about how far he's traveled! apparently, his trip to mississippi wasn't memorable and i guess he already forgot about … [Read more...]
