Eastern Shore

Today we decided to go for a drive. It was a lot of fun. In Virginia the have a peninsula that is only connect to VA by a bridge tunnel that is 14 miles long. It has two tunnels and Three sections of bridges.

After the first section of bridge coming from Norfolk there is a fishing pier and restaurant. We stopped there and walked down the pier.

Then we drove the remaining of the way, on the Eastern shore they have a wildlife preserve that also had an old Army bunker from the war.  We just walked a few trails and one led to a salt marsh overlook.

At the end of our walking we just found a bench to have some lunch.

The Eastern Shore is nothing like the greater Norfolk/ Virginia Beach area. The homes are old farm houses with at least an acre surrounding each one. We only passed one major grocery store, but a ton of little roadside kiosks for Fireworks, ham, and bacon (all in one).

We loved our little trip.

SIX MONTHS!

I can not believe that six months have gone by!!! He just gets cuter and cuter!

August Menu

Here is this months menu. It is mostly a "clean out the fridge" kind of menu, but all of our favorites none the less!
So some things I do to help with the planning, I usually use it twice during the month and I try to buy in bulk the things I use often. I don't have any left over days because everything is good the second day for lunch, but you could take out something you don't like and do a left over day.
Sorry this is a day late.

First Visit to the Zoo

While Grammi is here we are doing things we have not yet around Norfolk. First stop the VA Zoo!

Ammon was only interested in a few of the animals, but more interested in the people and children passing by.

Not to many animals were caught on my camera, sorry, just pictures of lil' man and daddy! But the zoo was fun and we really enjoyed the variety!
