Summer in VA Beach

Our summer stretch in VA Beach went by the quickest. We only had 5 short weeks here and of that only 4 short weeks with daddy around. In that time we were able to swim in the pool, go to the water park, celebrate Father's Day, the 4th of July, see fireworks, Bean's 2nd birthday, catch up with friends, meet a new neighborhood addition, go to the Botannical Garden's Water Park, Enchanted Forrest... So with all that you can see how our time together flew by. We dropped MrE off at the pier on Thursday and dashed off to do errands. By the time we were driving home we could see his ship out in the bay... heading out to sea. But he'll be home before we know it, then out again, then home again and then out again... It is kind of a rinse & repeat cycle that you get used to. Never fully, but it is what it is. At least this deployment will be a short one for him since he is supposed to transfer mid-way through and then we roll to shore duty! Three Years Together. IN ENGLAND!!! Do you see our excitement?!?!

So lets make the rest of this year fly by! We're ready for 2011!
