Yorktown Beach

John had today off as a bonus holiday, so we headed for Yorktown Beach. I had heard great things about this beach (a nice, long beach along the York River), but this was the first time in over five years that we've made it there. The boys had a blast playing in the sand (Owen called it "the sandbox") and filling buckets with water to pour into the holes that they dug. The highlight of the outing, though, was seeing a number of dolphins coming up out of the water. It was a wonderfully unexpected surprise!

John's sandcastle masterpiece. It lasted a while before Owen-zilla attacked.
