Family Trip

Here are some highlights from our family trip.

Our first stop was Washington D.C for a visit with our friends at Restoration Church, a new church plant.  This trip also included a Cardinals baseball game for Malachi and Daddy.  BUT, the best thing about D.C. was the "underground train".  Here is a drawing by Malachi of the Metro.

Next, we headed to Hampton, Virginia for some fun at the beach.  We made a stop on the other side of  the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.  The kids saw how we got from there (the spot in the background of the picture) to here and learned what the purpose is of a bridge-tunnel.

The kids loved the beach and Malachi especially loved learning to ride the waves (he is somewhere underneath the splash in this picture).

Burying each other in the sand was a highlight too.

Popsicles at the beach were a yummy, melting mess, but they never tasted better!

We ended our trip with a tour of the Naval Base in Norfolk, Virginia.  The boys have been playing "Army" ever since with their new toy planes.  We all had a great trip to end the summer!
