Gothic Tower

Last Sunday while showing my niece around down town Norfolk we saw this Gothic tower from a distance, unfortunately we did not have a chance to go check it out. So earlier today when I was nearby and had a few minutes I decided to get a little closer and snap a few photos.

This church sits at the western end of the Mowbray Arch near down town Norfolk. I plan on going back and getting some closer shots and hopefully some history as well.

Week In A Whirl

This week just seems to be going by in a whirl. Here it is Wednesday already and I am way behind. I wish I could say Monday and Tuesday were busy with productive projects that kept me occupied but I can't. Sure there were appointments to go to, and some photo editing to be done, but most of my time was spent going in circles trying to find my way around this fair city.

As for the weekend it was fantastic. My niece arrived Friday evening. My oldest daughter sprained her ankle on Thursday so was not able to go out and about much. So although we did show my niece around some most of the time was spent visiting at home which was very nice. Here are a few of the many photos we took over the weekend.

 My son-in-law gave her a tour of his ship.

 We headed down town on Sunday morning to show my beautiful niece a few of the sights.

 The kids persuaded her to join them in a round of Dance Central competitions.

 Saturday evening we enjoyed a bit of cards a round of Yahtzee and many laughs.

It had been many years since my niece and daughters had seen each other and it was the first meeting for her and my grandchildren. It was great to see how excited they all were to get to know each other. Bonds were established and hopefully they will see one another often in the coming years.

Fabulous Friday

I am so excited for this evening to get here. My niece who lives in DC is coming for a weekend visit. It has been almost a year since I was able to visit her in DC.

Hopefully it cools down some so we can show her some of the area. Like down town with it's great old and new buildings, fountains and the Japanese Gardens.

Submission for both Sky watch Friday and Weekend Reflection

If not maybe we can head out to the beach tomorrow and cool down.

But whatever we do, I know it is going to be great spending time with her again. It will be even more special seeing as it has been around ten years since my daughters and niece have been together. I can assure you what ever we decide to do we will be making lots of terrific memories, and capturing them on our cameras.
