Mississippi River Trip: Home - For a moment

IT'S TIME TO SAY: GOODBYE!

Being home didn't last.  We decided that we had to take the kids to the beach for one last weekend of camping, so we headed to Kiptopeke State Park outside of Norfolk.  The kids used the weekend to help Larisa celebrate her birthday (again - for somebody who claims she didn't want a birthday Larisa has managed to get three celebrations out of it).  We spent the day down at the beach, first swimming and relaxing, then catching crabs for the pot.  We wound up with half a dozen blues, which Larisa ate for lunch.  That evening we went to the pier and did a little fishing - I wound up bringing in a good size croaker, which Larisa ate for dinner grilled.   It rained in the night, but our tent stayed dry (the kids' didn't - heh) and we packed up the next morning after a breakfast of blueberry pancakes. 

 Nice weekend, and a great bookend to our trip across the country. 

BLUE CRAB: Callinectes Sapidus COMING FOR DINNER

For Larisa, it's back to work.  For me, it's back to hunting jobs after a brief fishing trip to Tofino on Vancouver Island.  For both of us, it was the trip of a lifetime.

THANK YOU ALL FOR READING! WE WILL COME BACK WITH NEW ADVENTURE SOON.
