King Neptune

We went down to the Virgina Beach beach today to see the larger than life statue of King Neptune. It was a neat site and the kids had fun playing on the beach, it was a bit chilly and windy, so not swimming weather.

For those of us who need a Greek refresher, King Neptune (or Poseidon) is known as the King of the Sea and is known for his 3 pronged trident. Bea thought he looked like King Triton, Ariel's dad from the Little Mermaid.
