So as you have probably already seen we recently had a coaching session with Katelyn James in Richmond, VA! 🙂 It was such a wonderful experience! To see the post, you can go here: http://bellamandaphotography.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/our-katelyn-james-coaching-session/
Since it had been so long since we had any free time, had gone on a date, or had been on a vacation we decided (last minute) to make the most of our trip and make a little mini vacation out of it. I am so glad that we did because we had an amazing time! We had no idea where to go first, but my grandmother had always talked about Colonial Williamsburg so that was the first place we decided to check out. We arrived to Williamsburg and found this cute little location first! We had to check it out and of course have fun posing and taking some photos!
After spending some time there and believe me it was so hard to leave because the lighting at that location was so beautiful! ANYONE who would be interested in having some photos taken there next time we visit??? We are so up for it! Williamsburg is so beautiful! We walked around, looked at the old buildings, took some photos and visited a little shop to pick up some souvenirs. We always try to pick something up from wherever we go. A favorite of mine to find is Christmas ornaments from different locations! 🙂
We were not ready to leave and we wanted to visit one more place before leaving to go home so we decided we wanted to see the beach. We drove around for a little while and got lost. In fact, we almost went into Fort Eustis. That was interesting, however after driving around and getting lost two/three times I got my handy dandy Iphone out and googled a location with a secluded beach. It brought up Grandview Nature Preserve in Hampton and some directions so that’s where we had our heart set on. The directions ended up being wrong but somehow we ended up finding this place. Finding this beach was such a blessing! Absolutely gorgeous! It felt so good to feel the sand between my toes. It had been so long since I had the opportunity to do that. We had a blast just taking it all in, taking photos, running on the beach, and watching the sun set! I have never seen a sunset so beautiful and vibrant!
We also got a greeting from this little guy!! isn’t he the cutest?
As I mentioned before the sunset was so vibrant! This is the first time I have ever seen something that beautiful!
We left Richmond around 10pm that night after having dinner with a friend and ended up arriving back home around 5am. We were so exhausted but I wouldn’t do anything different or trade it for anything! I’ll always remember this trip for many reasons and I can’t wait to go back! Check out the blog about our dreams. I mentioned a lot of things I would love to do for our business and it includes Williamsburg and this beach! 🙂
