This year we always try to visit Mom and Dad in Virginia Beach once-a-month, as long as Paul is not too busy with his work schedule (^-^)
This visit, we took Luke to the beach. And we found out that he is a little bit scared of the sound of the waves, but also that he really enjoys playing in the sand! We are thinking that he might get used the sound of the beach if we take him more often, but it is okay if he doesn't like beach -- Ah huh! Luke was born in NC, he is a mountain boy -- ha ha :)
And we usually (if we don't forget) visit the Asian Market grocery store in Virginia Beach on our way out of town, where I can find some Japanese and other oriental food! This time we got several cans of the "thick variety" of coconut milk (next time, I think we should just buy a box), Thai curry paste, Korean noodles, etc. Finding all of these made me happy, even though I forgot the main thing that I was planning to buy -- Japanese Miso (soy bean paste).
Also we went shopping for our Halloween costumes. That was so difficult... We didn't want to spend too much money and we were looking for the specific theme for all of us -- Vampire costumes. It was easy for me and Paul, we just needed to get a cape and found those at the dollar store. But had a really hard time finding one for Luke. We went everywhere... and the end, we gave up and bought a pirate costume for Luke. Well, next year I will prepare much earlier for the Halloween costumes (a lesson about living in America that I learned this year!) .
This month we stayed only for four days in Virginia Beach, but it is always so nice to spend time with our family there --- our relaxing beach-side get away!
It seems that we always forget to take pictures at Mom and Dad's house... maybe because we are too relaxed! But this time I took one before we left their house.
Next month, we are planning to visit Paul's sister and family in Washington DC for Thanksgiving! We will all stay in their new house (^-^) It is going to be fun!
