Elizabeth River Skylines
Our wedding reception last month was held in Norfolk. The view of Portmouth from our hotel each morning. The view of Norfolk as we’re cruising on the Elizabeth River. Even a shipyard looks pretty in the right light.

Summer Walkabouts : Arlington Cemetary
Summer has been busy here. We’ve had family visiting from other places, gone to visit family ourselves, and had a wedding reception. Most of that was within one month! It’s been a great summer! We took an opportunity when family was visiting to go with them to some of the sights nearby. One place we…

I don’t know about you, but one of our family’s all time favorite foods is the strawberry. I have waxed poetic about them before. Every year we start a countdown as we watch and wait for our local farms to open their pick your own fields. Last year we added a few…

Vintage Signs
I headed out this week, not for a walkabout, but for a country drive. This area is also farm country and there are plenty of windy, twisty roads to simply drive. If you did, you might pass cows across from a gas station, horse farms, a winery, battlefields, George Washington’s Boyhood Home, one of the best…
