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.

Leaving Idaho

We're leaving Idaho early this morning, headed for Virgina. We're excited to pick up our Tahoe and finally have our truck back. We'll be visiting with Mr. B's aunt in VA as well as hitting Busch Gardens and the shopping outlets, so keep posted for pictures.
