A couple of weeks ago, our family took an evening to check out this historical property nearby. :) Fort Boykins is right on the James river and was built to protect the Jamestown colonists from Indians. Anyways, we heard the beach there is beautiful, so we headed over to see for ourselves.
And the first stop, of course, had to be 7-11 to pick up the traditional summer treat of Slurpees. ;)

You have to walk through some woodsy trails before getting to the beach access, but it was really an awesome thing to come upon such a gorgeous beach through an arch of vines! It really reminded me of a beach from Five Children and It, or some other English beach movie. ;)
We were there just in time to watch the sun make it's way down. :) Wasn't it pretty?

| I'm thinking he approved! |
We brought a picnic dinner of fried chicken, rolls, veggies, and the delicious red cherries!
GAHHH!!! Levi's *so* huggable!

We had to kind of scurry out of the park, seeing as it closed at dusk. Which brought up the debatable topic:
What is considered "dusk"?
Is it the time where the sky goes from blue to a series of different colors?
Is it right when you can't see the sun anymore?
Or is it more like when the sun's down, but it's not
dark out?
;)
Anyhow, I think we all really enjoyed getting out of the house, and doing something very summery to end our week with. :) Oh, and I don't know about you guys, but I'm loving this new look!!!

I think it's when the sun is down but it's not dark yet. That's my humble opinion.
