Beach Activities

I’m having a difficult time, getting back to my normal routine after a week at the beach and a totally different routine. Every day we were there we were out and about, seeing the sights and eating seafood. We went to the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center one day and spent several hours there. There was so much to see. The place is HUGE! We saw Komodo dragons, crocodiles, sharks and sea turtles. We got to pet sting rays. Their sting barbs had been removed and they LOVED being petted. They would come right to the edge of the tank so that you could reach down and touch them. We saw jellyfish, lobsters, sea horses and venomous snakes. There were also fiddler crabs, otters, cobras and hedge hogs. There were also many exhibits that explained the various animals in the upland rivers, the coastal rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. We were there several hours, looking at all the exhibits and then we got to see a very interesting movie about how animals can adapt to their surroundings. It was a very nice day spent at the aquarium and then we had lunch at a seafood restaurant. The weather was fabulous, so we ate at a table outside on the patio of the restaurant, right on the beach. Fabulous!
