My Little Hokie Boys

Bruin and I are going to Charlotte Labor Day weekend to attend the Virginia Tech/ECU game. It'll be my first VT game (actually, my first college football game - my college didn't have a football team) so to make it more fun, we ordered some 'Hokie Gear'. T-shirts, car magnets, etc... and of course, something for the boys!!!


Getting them together in one picture was quite a feat. It involved LOTS of treats.


Cricket is always the willing participant in my fake photo shoots... he should be a dog model!


I'm working on Dodger... he still likes to eat the camera. :)

Bathing Bostons

Cricket has always been a big fan of sunbathing. Looks like he's teaching Dodger to be the same thing...

Some other cute pictures from this week...

Our 'mellow' Boston, Cricket. That 'blur' at the bottom is Dodger.


Dodger in his 'restful' state. It doesn't happen often but when it does, it is so cute!!!

Beach Bums

B and I decided to make the most of a very beautiful day yesterday and headed down to our favorite spot in Charleston - Sullivan's Island.

The weather couldn't have been nicer...sunny, warm, breezy but not humid. Perfect in my book. Within 30 minutes, we saw dolphins playing/swimming just a few yards from the water's edge. It made us excited because we are actually going to swim with the dolphins on our cruise. :)
We took a nice long walk down around the point and saw Fort Sumter, the Charleston skyline and TONS of boaters. Then, we just sat and people watched for a while...

Unfortunately, two girls who were sitting next to us got stung pretty badly by Jellyfish. The Sullivan's Island Fire and Rescue came out within minutes to help them... the funny thing though was they drove two HUGE trucks, with flashing red lights, down the beach for about a half-mile... which of course brought tons of people to come check out what was going on. The poor girls were so embarrassed but grateful the guys came to help.

We brought our camera and took tons of pictures... so enjoy!


The view from our chairs...


My hot husband :)


Me. :)


Playing with the camera zoom... that's the Morris Island Lighthouse.


Zoom again... a sailboat on the horizon.


A frequent sight... a container ship coming to port. (Zoom again)

My faithful umbrella. I don't go to the beach without it!

It's so cool to live in a place like Charleston... where you can just drop everything and spend the day at the beach. Have I ever mentioned how I just LOVE living here?!?
