big city big beauty

This is a picture of Great Falls, VA. It is located less than 3 miles from Washington D.C., can you believe it!!! It's amazing, this world of ours. You could be in the busy, hustle and bustle of the Nation's Capital embedded in city life and not being able to slow down.  Then POOF you end up being embedded in nature, able to slow down, breathe in the fresh air and let it slowly calm your body, embracing the new, relaxed you. A place like Great Falls is great because it enables you to take part of both worlds, something I believe people struggle with. You are able to have the city, the culture, the history and then you are able to have the relaxation, the nature, the power. If I discovered this is my backyard, well within 15 miles, then who knows what you will discover when you got out and explore your own backyard.

Summer Lovin: Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach is in Southern Virginia and a vacation spot many Virginians seek during the summer time. When driving in the non stop traffic for over four hours, one might begin to think....that maybe this really isn't worth the trip. BUUUTT when you arrive and you finally get to relax on the beach..it is worth it all! I have experienced my first full summer in Virginia, and fell in love with Virginia Beach. The sun, the beach, the people, the boardwalk..all of it is great. These pictures inbody Virginia Beach, from the sunset on the boardwalk to the sand castles built by little kids playing in the stand all the way to the remote beaches where boats go to retire. Incase you ever do go to Virginia Beach.....the best deal is found at Pi-zerria..you can get a medium one-topping pizza and a pitcher of sangeria for only $17!!!
