Well we didn’t get a real vacation this year, and since we live in Hampton Roads and Lisa and I both work in Virginia Beach, we decided to take our vacation after work one Friday evening. We started at the Purple Cow Diner for an early dinner then drove to the waterfront for the rest of our vacation. Little Matt and I got to drive a race car (video game) and rode wet bikes (again, video game), and even played some skee ball. We window shopped for a little while on Atlantic Avenue and again, managed to walk by all the shops selling hermit crabs without buying another one. We walked along the boardwalk for a bit and heard some Kool and the Gang cover band before getting some tasty chocolate at one of the Forbes’ Candy stores. That pretty much concluded our 2008 vacation and we drove back home to Hampton. Overall, a great night out!
That was last weekend. This weekend we spent Friday having a picnic at the Botanical Gardens and this morning, Lisa ran the Rock and Roll half marathon in VB while Little Matt, Maggie Belle and I ate breakfast and cheered her on. She’s a great runner and we are all very proud!
