Dam Neck

We had the best beach weekend. Saturday was a smidge on the chilly side, but we still played in the waves and enjoyed the beach. I took one picture.

Until dinner and then I had to grab a shot of chickfilas new pimento chicken sandwich that is chefs kiss delicious. 

We showered, watched some tv, then went to Food Lion for Sunday food. We let everyone choose 2 tv dinner type meals and snacks and it was so different that it was fun. 

On Sunday we found a small ward and went to church. After we spent some time walking around and then went to the Chrysler Museum of Art. 

It’s a free museum that I thought would be boring but was actually really cool. 

Delaney loved this glass making play area and we spent a lot of time there. 



At 5:00 I had a 2 hour meeting for Bag Hunger. We’re so close and we’re all so ready, it’s a lot of work but will be awesome!

We headed to the beach early Monday and it was the best day! It was warmer so it made the coolish water feel so much better and the waves came in nice steady and calm but not too calm sets. 

We love Dam Neck beach! We can park right close, there are lifeguards and it’s busy, but not too busy. We had a lot of fun. 

Matt gave the girls a little surf lesson, and though none of them actually surfed, Delaney stood up on the boogie board several times. She even managed to stand up and ride a wave. It was pretty impressive. 

We played all day. We got out for snacks and we went for a walk to see if we could walk down to Virginia Beach, but after 1/2 a mile there was a restricted area because of explosive practice. The girls and Matt  played with the wake boards and I happily bobbed along with them. That is one of my very favorite things to do and I could stay on the water all day! We had to drag ourselves away at 4:00. We went back to the hotel and showered and loaded up. We’d watched traffic throughout the day, and I never saw it very busy. We left just after 6:00 and made it home by 9:30, super easy drive. 

I’m so thankful we got a free weekend at the beach. It was lovely lovely and the cherry on top is that I hit my move goal by over 200% just from playing at the beach. Could there be anything better?
