Neptune Festival

We couldn't miss the Neptune Festival this year. It's the Virginia Beach "Say Good-bye to Summer, Heat, Tourists and Traffic" party of the year. Actually, Virginia Beach honors King Neptune, King of the Sea, and his 34-foot cast bronze statue for the entire month of September and the final weekend includes a Boardwalk Art/Craft/Jewelry Show and a Sandsculpting Competition. We've gone in the past and really enjoyed seeing the sand sculptures.

Unfortunately this year we did't get to see any of the sand sculptures because we walked the wrong was down the boardwalk. By the time we finished walking the 16-block art show and back there was NO WAY Sophia was going to last another minute in the stoller.

Don't feel bad for her being strapped in the stoller. She had plenty of opportunities to get out and play. She kissed almost all of the fishes. She walked down to the Ocean with Dad. She ran around in the restaurant we went to for lunch. And she played on the playset in the sand.
