Beach House on the Chesapeake

So we had a family reunion of another sort last week. My husband's family (five siblings, with spouses and children) spent some time at a beautiful house in Virginia - right on the Chesapeake Bay. I'd expected it to be nice, but not THIS nice! The Chesapeake is expansive down where we were - so the view was ocean-like. But the water was calm and warm and the kids were able to walk way out and still have the water be waste high. We all took some great pictures and I wanted to share some of mine here.



Here are some shots of "All the Cousins":





Hanging out at the beach.... And at the house.



The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (This was so COOL!):




The little "ghost crabs" who took over the beach at around sunset:













Family togetherness:







The Sunsets were magnificent!






















Yes, we have had quite a summer! Being in Virginia with the family was such a great part of it!!

Thank you, Burke Family!
