Snapshots of a
PERFECT day!!






The Smith family LOVES the beach! I decided that we were going to have a perfect DAY (meaning ALL day - breakfast, lunch, dinner - watch the sun go down DAY) at the beach. With much deliberation, we decided that we would head on down to our old stompin' grounds, Sandbridge (VA Beach) and enjoy the waves with some good buddies - yippie for a few hours with the Davies and boo-hoo for 0 hours with the Hines (next week, tee-hee). We left for our day in the sun a little after 6AM and returned back home at a little after 11PM. Our day in the sun was threatened by this:
Yes, that is the SKY from the time we got there until 1:30. We were not deterred (although, I did have a few temper tantrums within and shot nasty looks to the sky occasionally. Ben says I am circumstantially happy - ok...a little!). After lunch, however, the sun broke through and burned us all to a crisp - yippie!!!
Our set up:
