Happy Fourth of July, America!

Happy Independence Day.

Nothing represents America more than the summer beach trip with the family.

Here's my last few shots from Virginia Beach.

View from our room.

Biking seemed to be the activity of choice.


Shane and Owen are the two kids in the background.


What is a beach trip without photographing the local flowers? I think that I'm addicted to macro pictures of flowers. Yep. I'm pretty sure that I am.


Can't get much more beachy than umbrellas and chairs.


It took forever to get the sand out of Owen's hair!



The boardwalk is the happening place at the beach.




Elvis was in the building! Definitely as American as you can get.



There was an Elvis convention that weekend. Too bad we discovered it on the last night. This was one of the marketing people at the trade fair at the convention.

One last picture.



I don't want to gloss over the real reason that we're here today. It's because of our Revolutionary War ancestors who fought for our independence. So, a big thank you to them as well as to all men and women of the armed services who fight for our independence and freedom every day!

Happy Fourth of July.
