Mother-Daughter Beach Trip

Mom and I spent a few days in Virginia Beach. The weather was perfect and we saw everything from dolphins to a man walking on stilts! Check out the video in the next post.

Finale

Our room overlooked the ocean, and on Sunday night there was a boat right outside our window setting off fireworks. I caught the finale on video! This is taken from our balcony. It's sideways (oops) but it's really spectacular ...

I'm published!

I recently started submitting articles to Brass Magazine, a financial magazine targeting young adults. (I learned about it through work.) Well, my first article has been published! You can check it out by clicking here:

King of the Sea

Doris and I are hanging out for the weekend and we went down to Virginia Beach yesterday to enjoy the ocean, shops, and KING NEPTUNE!

Small World

Pictured below is Curt and I with my grandmother's cousin, Donna, with her husband and mother, Jerry and Caroline. My grandma lives in California and a month or so ago emailed me and said she had relatives who lived on "New Ashcake Road." I almost fell out of my chair because that is only a few miles from where Curt and I live! We got to meet for the first time last weekend and enjoyed looking at old photographs of family I never knew I had. What a small world!

DC Trip - FINALLY!

I am finally on here to post some pics of our DC Leadership Team Trip from a few weeks ago. We had a packed weekend - everything from a private tour of the Pentagon to Dave & Busters to the Changing of the Guard to the WWII Memorial to leaderships galore. Here are just SOME of the gazillions of photos we have. You can click on them to view larger.

Bob Dole is a WWII vet who comes every other Wednesday and Thursday to take photos and talk with other WWII veterans. The WWII Memorial was a big project of his.
