Breezy Point & Calvert Cliffs

Unfortunately, our long weekend trip got canceled to Virginia Beach as one of the cousins came down with a virus.  We were all packed and ready to go so we decided to redeem the time by heading again to our "go to" spot - Chesapeake Beach.  We convinced grandma to go and she had a blast!


We stayed overnight and headed out the next day to Calvert Cliff State Park where you get to do a 1.8 mile nature hike to the beach and dig for shark teeth.  Caelan has his shovel ready!


We saw so many beautiful things a long the way.


My mom kept saying as we turned a corner and saw something else lovely----"It's like we're in Cambodia!" :)


I couldn't believe how well the kids did on the long hike.  Alas, we finally made it to the cliffs!




Everyone found (or was graciously given by other friends we met on the beach) a shark tooth fossil.  They were actually really hard to find.  Daddy was determined!


It was getting to be nap time so Tristan fell asleep on daddy (we wrapped him in our picnic blanket and tied him to Patrick) and amazing daddy walked him another 1.8 miles back while he slept.  That's one devoted daddy.  I was so proud of my mom and the other two boys who walked almost 4 miles!  Next time we go, we are bringing mountain bikes!!!
