I had a workshop in Williamsburg on Thursday, JULY 17. So, Marty picked up Charlie from "school" and met me at the famous Pierce's Barbecue for dinner...yum! From there Marty headed home and Charlie and I set off for the beach. Of course we got caught in traffic and it took us 3 HOURS to get to our exit at the beach. I managed to keep the little man awake long enough to go to the grocery store for some necessary items and to help me unload all of our stuff. He was a perfect little helper.
Daddy arrived as we were coming back from the marina. We had a wonderful dinner of Charlie's favorite, shrimp, and sat out on the patio. What a beautiful view.
We used Grandma's wagon to take all the groceries up to the condo.
On Friday we went for a nice long walk; all the way to the Virginia Beach pier. We came home, got cleaned up, and headed for the beach.
What a blast! We built sandcastles, splashed in the surf, had a picnic lunch and played until Charlie finally said, "I'm ready to go back to Grandma's and take a nap."
I somehow encouraged him to go get some ice cream first; then we went back to rest.
The Bost Beach Bungalow looks out over the intrance to Rudee Inlet and we can see boats in the nearby marina. When Charlie woke from his nap he wanted to go see the boats. So, momma obliged. One gentleman from the "Virginian" showed Charlie pictures of all the fish they caught that day. He thought that was really neat and commented, "whoa, dats a big fish." We continued down the pier and a sweet lady on the "Iggy Biggy" sailboat took a liking to Charlie. She let us come aboard and Charlie even got to take the helm.

What a beautiful view.On Saturday Marty was ready to hit the beach. We got an early start and he and Charlie had a great time building a masterpiece. Then it was time to bury Charlie in the sand...he loved it!
We got caugt in a downpour on the way back to the condo; arg!
Sunday was more of the same. Sun, Sand and Surf! Charlie made a friend and they had a great time chasing each other around the shoreline. We culminated the weekend with one last trip to the ice cream parlor...It was truly a fabulous weekend.

AWESOME beach pictures!!! Charlie is getting sooo big. You look great.
Sounds like a great trip. Charlie looks so big in those pictures, but there some great shots. Glad you got some good mommy/charlie time...so sweet! (from Shannon)
Libby! Beach time is the best! I can't wait for you guys to get down here and watch Pepper play some football...or at least see him dressed in pads with a jersey and helmet on (not too sure how much actual playing time he will get).
Anyway, it looks like you guys had a tremendous time.
