CJ & Autumn Miller

We drove southeast Friday & watched the snow accumulation drop off as we neared the coast. When we arrived in Hampton we drove under a body of water & CJ proceeded to hold his breath through the tunnel... as he was driving. Now, I am not usually a paranoid passenger, but this made me nervous. It was a long tunnel & traffic wasn't moving particularly fast. I finally yelled "Breathe!" & he gasped for air.
We arrived, grabbed our bags & ascended to our room on the 12th floor. Friday night we located steamed shrimp at a place that seemed to give us a peak of winter life in a fishing town. The beach was quiet & cold & we loved it.
Saturday it snowed at the beach. We toured the Virginia Aquarium & viewed a 3D IMAX on Dolphins & Whales. We were educated on whale species & concluded that it was in fact a humpback whale we saw on our honeymoon while backpacking the coast of Vancouver Island. Our Valentine dinner that night didn't go quite as planned. We were seated on a cold enclosed porch with a group of the most obstinate, loud, & rude people I have ever seen. We ate quickly & enjoyed the Olympics in our room with a view of the ocean & a hot tub.
Sunday was sunny & we were able to experience the beach after breakfast. While driving home CJ took a wrong turn & we stumbled upon a REI! We happened to have a couple old gift cards in the glove compartment, so we went shopping. When we arrived home there was a pink heart cake in the fridge... What a nice surprise! Thanks Mike & Ana for watching Teco & for the Valentine's cake! AND thank you CJ for a wonderful weekend!
