These pictures are in backwards chronological order - is there a word for that?
Sunrise on Virginia Beach. Last day of the trip - dang.
One of the many eels that were caught on the pier while we were watching.
Cape Henry Lighthouse, view was from top of Old Cape Henry Lighthouse that is just 50 yards away.

Mom and Dad on Wingaersheek Beach in Massachusetts.
Us on Wingaersheek Beach with Annisquam Lighthouse behind us.
Rockport, Massachusetts, a quaint, touristy, little port town.
Rockport - wish we had been in the sailboat!
Lexington, MA, Brock thinks he is studious.
FENWAY!
Ok, it is 6:55. I lasted a half hour. I added these pictures last and then just put the captions on. If you have any suggestions about is it easier to put on pictures first and then type, or any suggestions at all, please let this technological idiot know.
I typed for an hour and lost everything before it got posted. Needless to say it was high quality stuff and it isn't going to happen again - the good quality stuff. So this is my second try and I don't have the patience to sit for another hour. So it is 6:25, I'll work for 15 minutes and see what I can get.
This is a nice slideshow that the photog put together from the wedding in Boston.
We stayed in Boston with Grant and Colleen Bennett, Alicia's mother's cousin. They were great especially since there were 7 of us. The Johns took us to a Red Sox game, we went to Lexington and also to Rockport, MA and to Wingaersheek beach. I'll add pictures but won't add any of my great commentary that I had earlier.
Mom and Dad were such troopers. It was great to have them there and they kept up with everything which sometimes included a lot of walking.
We headed out on Memorial Day to Virginia and bid farewell to Mom and Dad. Brad and Brock got their own car (that was kind of scary) and headed on their way to visit Brad's mission friends. We went to the Historic Triangle, Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. To show my stupidity, I thought we were going to Civil War sites. Williamsburg and Yorktown were from the Revolution and Jamestown was the pilgrims. It was a lot of fun and we saw some beautiful country. Then on to Virginia Beach which I fell in love with and would go back in a heartbeat if anyone is interested - let me know. We saw the old and new Cape Henry lighthouses which were on the local naval base. Virginia Beach includes a 3 mile boardwalk that has hotels running end to end. We stayed at the small Econolodge and had good luck with our budget pick. We rode bikes from end to end, listened to a band playing near the pier and watched people fish which you could do 24 hours on the pier. I got up early to watch the sunrise, it was well worth it and then we were off to home. It was an amazing trip and nothing could have been done to make it any better, other than the leg of the flight from Tampa to Phoenix - no one could get up including attendants from Tampa past Louisiana, Scott swears he will never fly again.
That only took me 7 minutes. Now I have to add pictures. They may be all at the first with only a short caption. I'll get better and I better get faster.
