Wildflowers rock! The meadow at Norfolk Botanical Garden lights up twice a year. People and butterflies flit around, delighted by the colors and nectar.

I made it to the beach on Labor Day weekend. Big waves and not too hot. How many more chances will I get to visit?

It was so dark and quiet on a recent evening at Colonial Williamsburg. The sky over the magazine was especially pretty. I was surprised to see tour groups nearby, despite the late hour.
