We had a great time this weekend going to BJ and Lori's on the bay in Norfolk on Friday night, and then on to Sandbridge on Saturday into Sunday. Six adults, six children ... all got along famously!

The grown ups enjoyed a wonderful dinner out on Friday night at Byrd and Baldwin in downtown Norfolk. We had the $30 per person Friday Night Restaurant Week menu ... Bill and I both had salad and Filet for dinner .. the table ordered a variety of treats to share before dinner ..Fresh Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Tartare, Byrd & Baldwin Bros. Oysters Rockefeller, and Colossal Shrimp Cocktail. They were amazing! And dessert was wonderful creme brulee, mexican chocolate mousse and NY style cheesecake. My favorite part was sharing my favorite wine with the table .. Orin Swift The Prisioner, and it too was a hit!

Saturday was 'moving day' as we packed up the house ... after a breakfast of bagels, mini-muffins and coffee .. and made our way to the beach. Milissa and Craig's house had a pool so all the kids enjoyed an evening swim (showers in the afternoon put a bit of a damper on things!).

Sunday we spent time on the beach in Sandbridge before making our way home. What a wonderful weekend enjoyed by all!
