Tent Camping in VA BEACH Sept 24 – 26, 2010

Posted By drsao on September 26, 2010

We spent the last three days camping in Virginia Beach and it has been LOTS OF FUN! Here are a few of the highlights of my birthday trip….thanks to my DD Christi – she is such a great organizer and she had fun and food planned for our camping party! My SIL took the coffee maker – YEAH – and we got a campsite with electricity so we had FANS inside our tent…….isn’t that just FUNNY!

We had fabulous campfires under a full moon *yes even though we could still tell that the heat of summer had not gone away we had a blazing campfire! The grandangels (and the rest of us) had so much fun making smores (I got all of the burned marshmallows!) We also had hot dogs, pop corn popped over an open flame and there was plenty of tree climbing! Grandangels, like some cats, sometimes can get up a tree but have difficulty getting down. I staged a rescue or two. I even tried to lead a few camp songs and even attempted a few jokes……:) Since it was my birthday camping trip the family pretended that I was funny!

We took a walk around the campsite – spent lots of time at the beach – ate GREAT FOOD (including coffee, chocolate pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast! YUM!) We even went to the Neptune Festival – had SNOW CREAM and rode a family bicycle along the beach! We made POOR GREG walk back from one end of the beach because without his weight it was SO MUCH easier to peddle….LOL. I think his first mistake was getting OUT to take a picture and that was the end of his ride…….hey, our legs were getting tired! 🙂

I think the BEACH FLIES love Calgon because they kept biting my feet!!! I also lost my WHITE HAIR POOFY and Greg had to stage a rescue – so much excitement! I took a few pictures….:)

I hope you enjoy the pictures of our camping trip! Our dog, Ruby, sure was glad to see us and be returning home!
