Fouth of July

These pictures are from our trip down to Norfolk for the fourth of July. We had a long weekend and headed down late Thursday night. On Friday, we headed down to the "parade of sails" at the harbor. Norfolk is a big Navy town so it was pretty impressive. We stuck around for some BBQ and live bluegrass music. The next day we piled the fireworks in the car and headed down to Virginia Beach for the long standing Markham tradition of spending the fourth of July on the beach. We caught up with a lot of old friends. Aiden especially enjoyed flying a kite and building sand castles. He was a little less sure about swimming in the ocean (though Julie and I got in for awhile). Finally, as usual Steve and many of the other locals treated us to an impressive fireworks show. We had to pry the glow stick out Aiden's hand at bedtime.
