Virginia Beach Summer 2012

Last Summer August 2012, hubby and I celebrated our 5th year of togetherness in Virginia Beach, again! It was our second time to visit the place, and I don’t think I could get enough of it. Living far from the beach makes one crave for the beach. I was craving for a beach experience alright, and its the only time that I can fulfill this crave. Since Virginia Beach is the closest beach that we find nice, we drove down there for 8 hours just to feel the sand, taste the ocean water, and inhale fresh breeze from the ocean. It was wonderful! If you live far from any sea water, you will understand the feeling. But I got the feeling that this would be the last to visit the pretty beach of Virginia, for hubby was not happy of our experienced there last Summer.

Anyway, I would like to share to you guys some of the photos I took of Virginia Beach.PhotobucketVirginia Beach in the morningPhotobucketFeeling the sands under my feet was heaven!Photobucket Kids dig in the sands right away with their beach toys.Photobucket Father and Son building their sand castle.

The Statue of King Neptune – Virginia Beach

Photos below were taken on our last day in Virginia Beach. It was such a nice day to go swimming, but we need to pack our things to head back to our daily routines. Our 3 days vacation here last summer 2011 was so awesome, and was so quick. There was so much things to do, and 3 days was not enough.

Before we head to our next destination, we strike a pose first at the statue of King Neptune. If you visit Virginia Beach, you will never miss this 34-feet Bronze Sculpture, that sits in the middle of the beach on the Boardwalk, at 31st Street by the Hilton Hotel, which is close to our Hotel. It was build on May 10, 2005, in honor of the Neptune Festival that is held every September. The creatures around King Neptune shows the wonders hidden beneath the waves., and that stern look shows that  he is not entirely pleased with the ecologically poor use of his seas, according to Paul Di Pasquale who sculpted this piece.  He sure look so magnificent and powerful. I hope this statue will remind everyone to take care of our water. :-)

And here I am looking so tan, sitting pretty in one of the benches by the boardwalk, while waiting for my men to finish surveying this majestic sculpture.
