Monday was beautiful. We enjoyed First Landing State Park, a huge forest area with walking paths and such. Not unlike our favorite hiking areas in New Jersey!
Diligent readers of this blog will note that we've been to First Landing before... the picture on the right sidebar was taken there, when Cullen was younger and smaller. You'll notice I haven't changed much since then, though. Literally.
Speaking of New Jersey, on Tuesday we visited the part of Virginia - or at least our area - that I deem winner of the Impersonate New Jersey Contest. It's called Newport News.
What makes it Jersey-like is that, from the freeway, it seems like a place you'd only want to be from or drive through. And when you get off the freeway, there are crowded roads of convenience stores and gas stations.
However... keep driving, and you find a lot of parks and nice walking areas. It apparently has one of the largest city parks in the country, even. And some nice homes. Way to go, Jersey look-a-like!
We were only able to snap a few pictures, near "City Center."
Hooray for vacation time! It feels nice to explore.
We'll update you if we find anything else.

Geez Uncle Ken, you should change your clothes every once in a while! I'm sure Aunt Cheryl would teach how to wash them.
:-D
