Anyways, as I promised, here are some pictures of our trip to False Cape State Park. For those of you not from around here (and also for those of you who are), False Cape is close to the North Carolina border. It is named because it looks just like Cape Henry, the cape that leads into the Chesapeake Bay. Well, ships would get confused and run aground because it is pretty shallow. There's even a small town that sprang up, called Wash Woods. Can you guess how it got its name? (Just click on the little x and you can see the park better. Also, you can zoom in or out, and grab the map to move north. You'll see Virginia Beach to the north.)

Well, here is a picture of the gorgeous beach at False Cape. There was no one for miles....
And here's me on the beach...
And another one of me on the beach...
We saw a ton of these white birds along the way, I think they might be egrets or something. They were big and pretty.
And last but not least, there's me and my bike. I think this is right after my flat tire.
Well, that was our little adventure. Now, I don't want a whole bunch of people running down to False Cape and spoiling our little sanctuary. This is our little secret, right? :)
I don't know, Pam. I'll have to take the boys down there...and we might just ruin your little sanctuary with all their running around!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe we've never been there. Actually, I can. We NEVER go anywhere.
Hey, I was able to zoom in on your map and found Donna and Benji's house. Kinda cool! :)
Ok, so I was exaggerating about the sanctuary. But seriously, you should bring the boys down there sometime. Once you get them to the beach (it is a bit of a hike) they could run around for miles and you could see them, and there's no one else down there! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteHey guys,
ReplyDeleteRe the Keen sandals:
Yes. I can get the shoes tight with the bungee. But I don't because, for what ever reason, my toes get numb when I do. To be fair, my toes get that way when I wear my Specialized Tahoe cycling shoes too.
Also, over 3 months of wearing these and putting 500-600 miles on them, I still stand behind that they are great cycling.
When are you guys taking off for the trans America?

Hi eric,
ReplyDeleteWe are going to be going across the country spring of 2010, work schedules and life has declared that is when it will happen =) I (Matt) have been researching this a ton, and have spent way to much time on crazyguyuonabike =) I always want to make sure that if we invest in something or do something that we do it right, hence the asking about the sandals. Thanks for stopping by, I enjoyed your blog too!
