We Be Trippin': The Great DIS-nee Road Trip

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Ok friends...this last stop is very special to me!

My childhood home was just one block from the Chesapeake Bay. It was almost daily (in the summer) that I would walk down my street, walk over the sand dunes, and hang out on Bay Lake Beach which was a "private" part of the Cheasapeake Bay Beach for our neighborhood.

From there I could see the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

This picture may not be the greatest, but it’s taken from a special vantage point. This is “Chicks Beach” which connects to Baylake Beach....a short stretch of beach on the Chesapeake Bay. I walked this exact stretch of beach countless times. The bridge in front of you is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel which is absolutley breath taking at night. Another high school hangout spot. I would walk with my friends to the pilings and pick barnacles when I was growing up. There was a little store called the Tinee Giant that had the best slushies and sour apple gum! Ah, memories.....this was a very nice virtual stroll down memory lane.

I'll be saying my goodbyes and getting to move on in a minute. But I need to finish up something first. Until then just breath in that salty beachy smell. There's nothing like it!

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Feel free to hang our here in Virginia Beach for the day. Forecast is 78º and sunny...showers late this afternoon. So we should be able to get a full day of beach fun in and then head out later for our next stop on the road trip.

Before you leave us for the day we have a little parting gift for you.

It's a DisBoard Adventurosity Club Colonial Hat to remind you of your time here with the Fleagles! Enjoy!

Thanks for coming over and we hope you enjoyed your stay!

HMF - How's this?

I'm pretty sure I can make something out of those letters.....

Might I suggest another travelling song......my sentiments as you all have left Virginia!

Lyrics:

Windows down as the night blows in
Tap the beat on the wheel as the tires spin
Until we're there crank the radio
We'll join in with the songs we know

Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Smiles light up as we walk in
Old conversations begin again
Nostalgia's thick as the August air
It takes us back to a time when we didn't care, we didn't care

Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Oh, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Everything's right...





And so it is my friends......everything's right.

Mrs. Fleagle!! Great tour, thank you so much!! Speaking of military bases, Dh will be in Norfolk all summer for some training. I'll have to show him all your pictures.

OH! I love hats--too cool! Thank you Mrs. Fleagle for such a great weekend in Virginia--especially loved the beach today, something always magical about the ocean! And thank you for taking such good care of all of us too!

Might I suggest another travelling song......my sentiments as you all have left Virginia!

I love this also--perfect song! When the music matches the moment, well then everything's right!

The DISbus is once again on the move.
This time heading for AnnDisneyFan in Charlotte NC!!!

I hope Ann won't mind if we make a quick stop on her part of the tour!! DH and I were married just north of Charlotte in High Point, NC this past September (yes, still newlyweds!!). If you don't mind, I'd like to pop over to the Inn where we got married at an re-live a few moments:

*reminiscing* Ahhhhh......

And for those of you who might want to see more:

BTW...I'm playing a little catch-up here tonight!

Marshay did a great job in the little time she had left before leaving for her trip! DH almost took a job just outside DC a few years ago and seeing those pictures brought back some memories for me. We only spent one day sightseeing in DC, while the rest of the time was spent househunting. In the end, he ended up keeping his job here in Georgia.

And Mrs. Fleagle! What wonderful hospitality you have shown us. All of the homemade treats were delicious!! I also love lasagne the next day. (I've been known to make a day early so it tastes better).

I can't wait to see what Ann has in store for us in Charlotte!

Great pictures KigerKat! That Inn was beautiful....loved the staircase!

Thank you so much! We entered the ceremony a little differently. Instead of walking down an aisle behind everyone, we came down the staircase facing everyone. It was just a small ceremony, but still so wonderful!

Both DH and I are Atlanta transplants, so neither of us have any family here in Georgia. About 99% of his is up in North Carolina while mine are spread through Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, and Florida - so it just made sense to get married where the most people were! And we couldn't have picked a better place....8 months and 2 days now....

Aw, congratulations! May you both have a WONDERFUL journey together.
And now you can say you have family in Virginia, Texas, Washington, Massachusetts, Canada, etc.........

A spread out family is not something I'm used to as you could probably tell from my road trip. The furthest any of my relatives lived was about 40 minutes away. As opposed to Eric's family who moved all the time and not just state to state, but country to country! I could never do that. I'm way too used to my surroundings.. It was a big shock moving from Virginia Beach to Yorktown when we got married. I wasn't used to roads not having street lights on the side of the road!

However, many times lately with all our Fleagle bad luck I've wondered if it was possible for us to just move away where nobody knows us and we could "start over" so to speak. But, I'm a rather emotional and sappy person...so that probably wouldn't work. Best if we just keep trying to duck and dodge our black cloud!

Again, wonderful wishes to you and your new DH! As Eric and I just celebrated our 15th Anniversary (at the Burger King drive through... )
I've got a cute quote to pass along to you.

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong admit it;
Whenever you're right shut up.

 

[KigerKat]

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong admit it;
Whenever you're right shut up.

This may be a tough one to stick to, since we can both be hard headed and stubborn. We've been together just over 4 years, and no blow up fights yet!! I'm looking forward to my 15th at the BK drive through!! (Is that they "modern" anniversary gift - a Whopper on your 15h?)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!​

I can't wait to see the look on DW's face after I tell her this.

She'll be so excited!!! I can just hear her now. "What?!?!?!? A Whopper on my 15th wedding anniversary!?!?!?! You better be kidding mister!"
