We took the grand girls with us for three nights and four days to Northern Neck of Va.
First two nights in Kilmarnock and visiting the nearby areas to see if we may like it more to come back to.
It was nice and we enjoyed our time but two nights here were enough.
White Stone Beach
A very hot day and the sand burned the feet but the girls pressed on and found treasures
Outside eatery in town
Lobby of hotel. I took this picture because I like the retro looking mirror
We had dinner one evening at the Sandpiper restaurant in White Stone
Off to Colonial Beach for a stop on the way home and some thrift shop stops.
First a stop at a bakery along the way I believe it was Montross.
Double lemon, raspberry, banana and maple bacon.
Small but well appointed baths
Walk to beach is easy from the River View Inn. A fine redecorated Hotel from the 50's I believe
I took this because I do like the gazebo. B and B.
North End
A little play with the picture
This lot here is for sale. Not looking forward to seeing what will happen to it. Probably a hi rise hotel of sorts or condo to block views of bldgs. that have been here for ages. Every thing changes.
soon will be gone I guess. Nice little vintage motel people loved. Clean and friendly owners.
In the town. These are grape vines growing on the fence.
Night time walk and children play acting

Dearest Betsy,
ReplyDeleteWow, you gifted your two grands again with some precious time together for fondest memories to come!
It is heartbreaking to see the tearing down of old buildings and the little people never manage to stand up to the power of the few!
Happy that the weather was good.
We too spent 3 nights near Hilton Head, some swimming and relaxing, much needed after all the work and stress.
Hugs,
Mariette
Have just begun with the posting of some Review Quotes that I listed with our new book publishing... Proud of my Pieter and grateful that he is still alive to read and see the fruits of his labour and dedication. We both love the books, especially the hardcover is so well done. Color printing is excellent on heavy paper. Not cheap but we say here in the US: you get what you pay for...
Thank you. Three nights sound wonderful near Hilton Head. Good you were able to relax and enjoy time away.
DeleteNot cheap like you say as you have used the best materials available for such an important work to be enjoyed generations to come.
I'm so glad you and the grands could have a getaway, Betsy. You always have such fun with them! The photo of them in the surf is great. You must frame it for them. How is it that the grands grow so quickly? Lovely times and more great memories stored for you and them.
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy, looks like another great time with the kids making memories. They look so cute and grown up..Stay well..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteDear Betsy, That little vintage hotel for sale almost made me teary. We loved a little similar motel/inn in North Myrtle Beach. They tore it down and built a huge highrise there... SAD!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great trip to the beach. We tend to go to the mountains in the summer and to the beach when it cooler... I don't like being in the heat of summer.
Your GrandGirls are just so adorable. I know they had a great time with you.
Have an awesome week.
Hugs,
Betsy
