Gramma Miki and Fort Story

Matt and I helped his mom with some house/yard work this morning and then we got ready for the beach. Lynda, Matt's mom, Matt, and I headed to the beach after packing lunch. It started to pour while we were driving so she thought it would be a good idea to go visit his grandma before trying to go to the beach. We went over to his Gramma Miki's house (met up with Missy-she was already there) and spent a couple hours talking and listening to all of her great stories of memories from her childhood and about their family history. We ended up eating our packed lunch inside because it didn't look like it was clearing up to be a very good beach day. After saying our goodbyes we headed to the beach to see if we could maybe get one more beach day. It still hadn't really cleared up so they decided to take me to Fort Story, a military base, and show me the Cape Henry Light House. We walked up the "millions" of stairs to get to the top where we could see the other working lighthouse and the shoreline! It was a beautiful view, but still no sun. We stopped by Matt's dad's house one more time and then drove back to the house to pack. It has been a wonderful trip. I wish we could've had one last day at the beach, but there is always next time! Time for bed...no falling asleep on the ride home!
