Summer: June & July

It doesn't get any better than summertime in Virginia Beach! Here are a few of the things we've been up to, like revisiting ol' King Neptune down at the Oceanfront/Boardwalk.


The Norfolk Greek Festival! 

Greeted by peacocks at the Norfolk Zoo.

Love seeing the Norfolk Mermaids again.

Reconnecting with old church friends. 


The Norfolk Botanical Gardens with old VA buddies from 3 years ago. Too bad these guys just moved back to San Diego in July! :( 

Dressing up for the movies. 

Indoor, 3D, blacklight mini-golf!

Finally lost her first top tooth!

Family bike ride and picnic at Mount Trashmore. 

More bike excursion on the beautiful trails through the forests and swamps at First Landing State Park. 

Catching Atlantic waves on the Oceanfront.

And water-lounging.

Hanging with cows at the Little Creek library for the Summer Reading program kickoff.

Grand opening for the lovely new Norfolk Outlet mall.

Watch your mouth at the Oceanfront.

Celebrating America's birthday by watching the Quantico Marine Band perform at the Oceanfront on July 4th.

Fostering a kitty who needed a lovely home! Z loves Binga so much, even though she's not the nicest kitty. We're hoping to win her over!

Watching summer thunderstorms with the girls.

Someone eyeing the dinner prep.

The historic Fort Story lighthouses.


In addition to teaching trombone lessons, A gets to perform at ceremonies with the School of Music faculty brass quintet. 


L got her first Virginia-area gig playing for the grand opening of a memory care & assisted living facility. 

Thanks to our military housing community, we enjoyed a free day at Ocean Breeze Water Park, what a blast!

Playing at the Seal Park on base. We ride our bikes here from home! 

Spending time with our dear friend from Australia who just moved here in July with her Marine husband (A's friend from Pendleton). 

And summer's not even over yet! More to come...
