Virginia Beach 2003
Our first anniversary was spent in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  An old stomping ground of Vicki's that she missed terribly and a new experience for Brian, who had never visited the ocean before.

Colonial Inn on the beach
June 7th -June11th
We stayed at the Colonial Inn, located right on the beach, for 4 full days!

ParaSailing
June 8th
The highlight of our trip was the ParaSail Adventure.  (Well, it was suppose to be anyway)  The motion sickness medication that we took that morning left us both feeling slightly "out of it" and while the flight was absolutely fantastic, it lasted about 10 minutes too long  ;-)

GeoCaching
We relaxed on the beach, played in the water, went to a dinner theatre, spent a day at Busch Gardens amusement park, toured historic lighthouses, and collected sea shells.. We also made time for one of our newest hobbies... GeoCaching!

Washington DC
June 12th
After checking out of the hotel, we picked up Vicki's son (who had traveled to Virginia with us and had spent the time visiting with his old friends), and headed up north stopping in Washington DC. We only had about 5 hours to spend, but it was exciting, interesting, and somewhat sobering to visit the  different monuments and landmarks.  While Vicki had been to DC before, this was  a new experience for Joseph and Brian.

Katie's Graduation
June 13th
After visiting DC, we continued farther north to Vicki's sister's house, for Vicki's niece's High School graduation.

 

One year down... and counting  :-)
