Summer in Virginia Beach

1. Beautiful sunny days in the 80's and 90's. No jackets required.
2. Beach Street USA. The city pays for performers to line the main street every evening. There are singers, comediens, magicians, acrobats and we even saw a woman imitating a statue. Stilt walkers mingle through the crowds. The beach shops stay open until 11pm or later, just in case you need a postcard or a boogie board. You never know what you will see! To top it off, parking for VB residents is only $1!
3. Town Center. This is where the grown ups go for an evening without the kids. Last week we parked and listened to live music in the plaza as we walked to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Couples are always dressed up and holding hands. It's peaceful, romantic and definately special.
4. The beach. Miles and miles of sand and surf. Boogie boarding, dolphin spotting, tanning, ice cream, collecting shells, watching jets burst throught the sky. And it's only 10 minutes from home.
5. The pool. Really, it makes the backyard look so pretty.
6. Camp. Geoff has over two weeks away from home and Danny has five days. A little peace and quiet for me!
7. No school, no soccer, no PTA. Life is good.
