I'm Back From The Beach!

After a wonderful week at the beach, I got home from Virginia Beach today about noon. The weather was fantastic. Just one evening it was rather cool but the rest of the time, even though it was overcast with clouds a couple days, it was warm. Then, lots of sunshine and a wonderful ocean breeze.
We walked on the boardwalk and down on the beach and watched the dolphins jumping out of the water almost every day. We ate at several different restaurants. Really good sea food. I had she-crab soup at three different restaurants. It was all good but different tastes.
I had coconut shrimp and scallops, some crab legs and hush puppies. We only cooked breakfast a couple times and dinner twice.
My spaghetti was requested, so I made that for everyone one evening and then one of the gals fixed a chicken dinner one evening.
Today before we left, there was a HUGE marathon right by our condo. Hundreds of runners and walkers and wheel chairs rolled by. Many of the runners were in costume.
We enjoyed watching them. There were some crazy costumes. From Dinosaurs to Elvis, to jelly fish, to Disney characters and all sorts of other costumes.
It was a wonderful week. I’ll tell you more about it later. I just wanted to get something out on mylot today, because we had NO WIFI all week.
Something was wrong with the system at our resort. We were all very frustrated. But, other than that we had a great time.
We did a lot of things. I’ll let you know later.

Yes, we stayed busy, so there was not much time for the computer at all. But, I just wanted to post some photos, which I will do now, from time to time and of course, I missed my Friday for posting one of my coloring pages. I did finish a couple that I had started so I will be posting them later.

@just4him I have to get back into my regular routine. It's Monday so I am going to try to return to my normal schedule. I attended my Christian meeting yesterday and unpacked most of my things from the trip to the beach but I still have several things to return to their normal places and some laundry to do.

Good question! I have no idea. Actually, the she-crab soup tasted different in each restaurant. I liked one much better than the other two. And yes, getting away from the computer wasn't so bad, but I sure had a lot of catching up to do. I still haven't caught up on all my email.

The weather was very nice at the beach. Warm sunshine and a nice ocean breeze. October is a great time to go because the summer crowds are gone and yet all the stores and restaurants are still open and there is a lot to see and do.

Yes, it's about a two-hour drive and we hit some road construction around Williamsburg, but made it home safely. Today, I'm going to post a little more about my week at the beach.

@YrNemo Sun is shining brightly today and the sky is blue. I haven't checked the weather yet, but the house seems very cool.

Yes, we had a great time. I will be posting some photos and more information this week. I spent most of the day yesterday, unpacking and trying to put everything away. That is a real challenge after being gone for a week.
