There's nothing quite like sipping your morning coffee outdoors and admiring the early light streaming through the surrounding trees. I love those few moments before everyone else is awake and moving around ~ no sounds but the birds and insects ~ so nice.
Maria's six-year-old son took this shot of me and Beulah. I think now I've reached the ripe old age of 32 I should allow no photos taken prior to coffee, shower, lip gloss...
We promised the kid a trip to the beach and there was no way he wasn't going. Whereupon we {foolishly} followed directions from a local to the one that was "right down the road a ways." An hour later we finally managed to get to the James River; there was much rejoicing.
To my amazement, there was this huge oak tree up the bank from the river with acorns the size of a silver dollar. I loved that you could enjoy the shade of an oak tree and look out over this extremely large, brackish river. Beautiful.
Even the drive home was pretty. Every state/country I've lived in has something special about it, something to love. Virginia is truly a beautiful state. I take the older highways whenever possible in order to see the countryside better. It's always worth the extra half hour you spend winding along.
What a weekend. I wish I could have stayed longer and will certainly have to return to see more of the historical stuff. However, I got a little glimpse of it and will share it with you tomorrow. For now, enjoy the trees!
I love Williamsburg! I have only been once, but thought it was so beautiful. You are right. Each state has it's own beauty! That's a great picture of you and your puppy!
