Virginia Getaway

The reason that we went to Virginia was primarily to assist/attend Joey’s Grandma’s funeral, however because the plane tickets were so expensive and we rarely make it out to visit the rest of Joey’s family we thought that we would stay for ten days and really make a getaway out of it.


While we were visiting we kind of bounced around to make sure that we were able to spend time with all of Joey’s family. The first couple of days we stayed at the Sheehan home. They had the most beautiful yard as you can see.
One of the Jobs that Joey had while there was to get all the boys ready for the funeral. He did a great job...considering the fact that he was using the horse clippers.
What would a vacation be without hanging out at the pool?!
Another cool thing about the house that we stayed at was the bees. Joey's aunt and uncle are bee keepers and we got to see what it was all about. Kinda cool!
This was Joey's uncle (Bob McDonnell) leaving the family events...what a sweet ride.

Party Boys!
We were staying so close to DC that we took one day and did a little site seeing.





We also stayed in this little river sack or “beach house” as the family called it. It was a little bit of a shock after spending so much time at the Sheehan home, however the place really grows on you and we ended up having a blast at the beach and catching crabs and jelly fish in the water.
The reason for the visit was a sad one...yet it was great to visit with family again!
