Copy and Paste - And We're Not Complaining

I could simply copy and paste my posting from last Friday and nothing will have changed. The weather continues to be simply amazing. This is definitely going to go down in the books as one of the best spring weather seasons on record. Get down here and have some fun...whether it's for a stroll along the oceanfront, to relax and enjoy a meal and a drink on one of the many restaurant patios overlooking the beach, to swing in to spring with a round of golf...it doesn't matter to me what you want to do, but I do want you to come enjoy this incredible weather!

Amazing Spring Weather to Continue

Three days in the 80's...couple of days in the 70's this weekend...and then more of the same next week! Wow, that's all we have to say, and to think it's only March. The golf courses are starting to get in great shape, the water is warming up (still a little chilly for a swim) and the oceanfront patios at the many restaurants are in full swing. Grab your gear, hop in the car and come on down for some fun in the sun. It just doesn't get any better than spring in Virginia Beach.
