We also went to Virginia Beach in 1985 and 1987. Each place we stayed had its own charm, and provided some great memories. But I don't think I've ever seen you so at peace as you were on this last trip. Just sitting there with your faithful companion dog, listening to the silence punctuated by the calls of marsh birds. It was worth every penny. <br /><br />We still discover new restaurants and new sections of the island with each visit. We've seen the island before, during, and after big storms, seen it in spring, summer, and fall, too. Maybe we'll get back again this year - we've never stayed twice in one year. Or maybe we'll be there to catch a rare snowfall one of these days. Maybe we'll join Julie & Andrew, or Tom & Kristy, one of these days.<br /><br />But sitting quietly on the porch, with your dog, watching the day begin, with a view of the marsh, the channel, and the lighthouse - that's going to be fun trying to top.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232444223492532562noreply@blogger.com
