When in Virginia Beach...

We are not beach people. We have been known to make an occasional beach visit in our travels, watch a requisite sunset, even feel sand between our toes for a fleeting moment or two. But a sustained beach vacation is not something in our future, thankfully.

Strategically located between DC and en route to our next destination Raleigh, Virginia Beach is a sad beach town. A tragic mix of Jersey Shore bravado, missed opportunities and economic decline. The whole mix is exacerbated by tropical storm Bonnie, who rolled in last night with torrential downpours. The streets were full of regret, dashed expectations, and general wetness.

Unphased though sopping, we decided to play glow in the dark mini golf and eat she-crab soup.
