According to people at work, I have the cutest dog ever!! So, I thought you might like to see some more pics from her birthday (courtesy of Karale)! Keep in mind this is the same day as the lightning strike, so I don't look real great! I had been contemplating jumping in the shower during a thunderstorm when the lightning actually struck. I know my answer from now on!!

Virginia Beach

I went to visit Brooke (she went to SOSU with me, we were in the Honors Program together) who is a U.S. Marshall stationed in Virginia Beach right now. It was a blast!! Plenty of beachtime and sightseeing! It was definitely a good mini-vacation!

This is a light house we visited on the base. We climbed the left one and the second picture is a view from the top of that lighthouse.

We went to dinner with some of her friends for some seafood. It was fun!

These pictures are just some things that were on the boardwalk by her house.

I told her I wanted to go by the Old Coast Guard Station...little did I know it was right on the boardwalk by her house!

I saw real dolphins while I was there, but I didn't get any pictures of them, so we took a picture with this dolphin instead. This was on the boardwalk a little ways down the beach from her house. We rode our bikes there.

We went to see a comedian at the FunnyBone comedy club. He was actually very good!!

These pictures are of the beach. I walked there from Brooke's house! It was literally two blocks away!

I wasn't too lonely when Brooke was at work. I got to spend my days with her puppy Tora! She's and american bulldog/boxer mix. She's really sweet!
