Beach time!

We woke up this morning and got ready for the beach! Matt's family lives in Chesapeake, Virginia so it's about a 45 minutes drive to Virginia Beach. On the way it started to pour :( We had to slow down to about 40 miles an hour on the interstate because the rain was so heavy. We kept driving and when we parked close to the beach we decided to wait in the car for 15 minutes and see if the weather would clear up at least enough to walk down to the beach for a couple minutes. The rain started to clear so we hurried to the beach. By the time we hit the sand the sun started to come out. We were the only people on the beach for miles and it ended up being a beautiful day. We kicked off our flip flops and ran for the water. The water was pretty cold but we kept running till we could dive in. We stayed in for only a few minutes before we decided to dry off and go for a walk down the beach. After our walk we headed for the car and drove to a couple beach shops for some souvenirs. We ate a late lunch at Doumar's aka home of the world's first ice cream cone maker. After showers and dinner at the house with Matt's mom and sister we went to the Funny Bone Comedy Club. It was a great show, but it is late and I am exhausted after our first long day in Virginia.
