Great Day At The Beach

Today a friend and I spent the day at Virginia Beach.  We ate lunch at one of the oceanfront restaurants and then rented this double bike to ride on the boardwalk.  It was a beautiful day and there was a pleasant breeze off the ocean!





The flowers were beautiful!  I think they thrive in the ocean air.




This statue of Neptune was enormous and the detail was amazing. 

Is there a place that you go that feeds your soul? That's how I feel when I see the ocean.  I love the sound of the waves and the smell of the salt air.  There's something so peaceful about it.

We had a fun day but it will be interesting to see if I can get out of bed in the morning after peddling  that cute bike.

    My brother lives in VA Beach (retired Navy) and when we went down to the beach, I didn't see this statue...How'd that happen?? But that bike is cute!! I wouldn't mind having one here to tool around in!

    But I love the beach too. While my heart belongs in the country, there's just something about the ocean that is so calming and soothing.

    Absolutely love the beach bike! You have wonderful friends to do things like this with. The statue is HUGE - but I guess if you are god of the sea - you better be big!

    Hi. Would this be one and the same as the Virginia Beach referred to on The Waltons? My favourite ever TV series. It looks weird for you to be feeling the heat at the beach when it's still so cold here in Australia. Our last month of winter.

    How I miss Virginia Beach. We lived there back in the 1970's and I've always regretted moving. It was a wonderful place to raise a family. We spent many hours at that beach each summer. I enjoyed seeing it once again.

    I also love the beach but it's been a while since I've been to VA Beach. The boardwalk there is so fun! That beach bike is something else. I know I'd love to do that.

    Thanks so much for stopping by and for commenting. I discovered your blog through your comment!

    I'm with you, there is nothing like the ocean to totally chill a person out!
