LOVIN LIFE: Virginia Beach

I'm back!!! It's been so long, I was such a busy girl in July, but had so much fun. July 18th weekend we went to Virginia Beach. Darreal hasn't seen the ocean at all in his adult life, and I haven't been to VB since I was a child (tramatizing experience for those who have heard the story) so we were really excited when Darreal's friend Mike asked us to join him and his now fiance Monique, and their little girl Mya for a weekend of fun in the sun!

I decided after my ocean city trip in June that everytime i went to the beach i was going to try something new. I eventually want to surf but thought i'd start out with boogie boarding, so as soon as i saw this board in the store i HAD to get it, tweety has been my favorite looney tune character since practically birth!

And it turns out Tweety is also Mya's favorite looney tune. Or at least it was that weekend, we almost had to fight over that board for the remainder of the weekend.

I would say "fun in the sun" but apparently we forgot to bring the sun with us, so i'll say frolicking in the somewhat chilly water

YAY, suns out! I'm not exactly sure if that's what i was laughing so hard about, but none the less i was excited!

Day 2 lead us to Mount Trashmore; World-renowned Mount Trashmore Park is 165 acres, 60 feet high, over 800 feet long, and was created by compacting layers of solid waste and clean soil. Recognized for its environmental feat, the park features the Water Wise demonstration garden that boasts xeriscaping where you can learn how to create a beautiful garden with minimal water requirements. * Pulled that from google, but to me it was a really nice park that used to be a landfill.. Goodtimes

That's a lot of trash

They did it!!

Then the park got to hot so we went back to the beach, and before we could get good and settled Mike proposed to Monique! Everyone was surprised, i didn't think he was serious, but yes indeed he was very serious! they have since set a date, August 21,2010.. Congrats guys!
