We had a lovely trip to the beach. I live only about 2.5 hours from Sandbridge Beach and I even lived in Virginia Beach twice, but I never spent any time at Sandbridge. It's a lovely beach and we really enjoyed it. This photo was taken from the pier and that's our condo building in the background. It was the last building before the city public property and Back Bay Wildlife Refuge area. We were well entertained too! The Oceana Naval Air Station is nearby so we got to watch some practice maneuvers. We also discovered that people ride horseback on the beach on Saturday mornings! I'm not a morning person, like this person on the beach, but I did get to see the sunrise every day. We walked on the pier one day and the pigeons and grackles were patiently awaiting any catches from the fishermen on the pier (yes, all men on this day). One day I walked to the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge where this sign says no people beyond this sign. Hmmm, people and tire tracks. We got some sewing and crochet done. Mom finished a veterans top and I finished this one. I'm glad I chose the orange fabric but Mom still wanted the green! I finished the second donation shawl in this yarn. I just need to add a button. I started the third (and last) one in this yarn.
We came home totally relaxed. That will wear off today as I work the election all day. I'll probably post again Thursday.

I do like walking on the beach in the mornings to see the sunrise. But that is the only time I am an early morning "get out of the house" person.
