Virginia Adventure Please Don't End.....

We were suppose to leave and take two days to travel back home but we could not seem to find the motivation to drive north west instead we went back south east for more of this.....

We spent the second day back at the beach dreaming about never leaving here.  

During the summer months you are not able to bring dogs to the beach here so Rexie and Lily had to stay at the cabin during the day while we spent the two days on the beach.  I don't think they minded all that much this has been a lot for them to be up all day, they are use to sleeping all day while we work.  

Spotted dolphins not to far from the shore, at first I thought it was sharks until I heard someone say they were dolphins.  Really awesome to watch them playing in the water there had to be four or five of them.  

The ocean is so relaxing I really wish there was a way to pack it up and take it home with us....

Virginia Adventure Scare

We almost lost Lily in Virginia this would not have been an adventure but a tragedy.  We came home late it was dark plus it was rainy.  We quickly ran up the cabin steps to let the dogs out to potty as Mike took the dogs out the door and down the stairs I grabbed the leashes and a flash light and headed down the cabin steps but not on my feet.  Yep, I went down the steps on my butt with a loud thump.  Mike turned around to see what happened and yelled are you ok? OMG! Are you ok, can you get up?  This got Lily freaked out and she ran thinking Mike was yelling AT me not TO me.  We searched  and searched in the dark and looked all over the camp grounds for her and could not find her.  I was so scared and freaking out thinking its dark, wet and she'll be cold probably eaten by wild animals in the woods that surround the camp grounds.  All I could think about was how scared she must be and she is in a strange place and what if she can't find her way back if she's not eaten by wild animals.  Even though I was in extreme pain, wet and tired I was determined to stay up all night and wait for her on the steps of the cabin till she returned. Mike finally got in the truck and went searching came back and said you have to accept that she is gone nothing we can do now.  When he returned he had left the truck door open and who came crawling back with her tail between her leg ready to jump up in the truck......yes, it was Lily!!!!!

Virginia Adventure

Thought these were too funny with the dogs popping through.

No clue what Rexie was looking at I think he was just mad we were using him for a funny photo. 

Lilly on the other hand just scared to death we put her head in the hole.

Virginia Adventure Day 4

Today we are off to see my family that lives here in Virginia, if I had to guess I would say it has been about 15 years since I saw them last.  Taking Rexie and Lily with us, my Aunt Lori is a big dog lover herself.

Virginia Adventure Day 3

Dogs got us up early so we went for a bike ride.  Just a little excitement on our ride.  We found the dog park at the KOA and realized we forgot the leashes so we let the dogs off the bikes to run and play (it was a fenced in area) but when Mike decided to ride back Lily wanted to go with and squeezed through the fence running so fast after Mike.  I had to gather Rexie and throw him in the basket to go after Lily.  As I yelled "Lily" she ran faster so I used the magic word TREAT, TREAT!!! and she turned around running back to me.

Now I have two dogs to hold till Mike gets back and what do I see a doe at the edge of the woods eating breakfast.  They never saw the doe thank goodness.

Rexie rides with me, he is such serious fellow.

Dogs stayed at the cabin and Mike and I went to Colonial Williamsburg.  It was very interesting but very hot.

 Governors Mansion took 20 years to build. 

This is the Ball Room inside the Mansion.  I'm sure Mike is happy he lives in the 20th century and not back in the 1700's can you imagine the honey due list he would have..........

After spending the afternoon being extremely hot and sweaty at Colonial Williamsburg we decided to cool off in the pool.  

Virginia Adventure Day 2

We left Kentucky this morning with another 6-7 hour ride before us.  The second day in the car was much more difficult.  Rexie and Lily are not comfortable, they are just not sure what is going on.  My legs feel so tight from being in the car and my body is starting to hurt all over.  In spite of my complaints it's a beautiful ride from Kentucky to West Virginia to Virginia; at times I would look out the and think there is no end to this drive just mountains and mountains forever and ever.

At the Virginia line visitors center and Rexie poohed on the lamp post, really Rex???  

As you can see we made it and our cabin is perfect for this trip because we have the dogs.
