I have decided to return to posting new “Throwback Adventures” after taking time to re-post some of my favorites with Shadow.  This has been a therapeutic process for me to share.  We are devastated that both Shadow and Buster have both passed, but find peace knowing we can continue to remember them through our “Throwback Adventures”.  They were amazing boys and are forever in our hearts.

In June 2009 Shadow, Buster, my Parents and I Adventured to First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach, Virginia. First Landing State Park is an extensive Park of almost 3,000 acres that includes: 19 miles of hiking trails, beaches, yurts, cabins, and camping sites. As expected the Park is popular for walking, fishing, camping, and swimming.

We had a family-filled Adventure to First Landing State Park. In reviewing my photographs I expect we may have only explored the hiking trails, just part of this large park. I have fond memories of this family vacation, as we met halfway in between Tampa and Massachusetts for this Adventure. We enjoyed the trails, the boardwalks, and the entire getaway. I remember the boys enjoying the walk. It was the first time my family had met Buster. We often talk about this Adventure and appreciate many stories and laughs. Maybe some day we will return to explore this diverse Park. Even though the photographs are far less quality from the digital, I am still glad to share our Adventure to First Landing State Park (Throwback Adventures will not always be rated).
