Holiday Trav-L-Park, Virginia Beach, VA - May 31-June 3
This is a fairly expensive but nice private park in Va Beach. It has a trolley to the beach (25c each way) & also free parking at a beach lot. At the beach there is a nice boardwalk to stroll along. Our visit coincided with the Viva Elvis celebration, so we were able to take in two Elvis impersonator acts. The main reason for this stop was to visit our friends, Gail & Mike McDaniel. We spent many pleasant hours with them, shared some very delicious dining experiences, plus had nice walks along the beach near their house.We attended a concert by the Virginia Symphony on Sun. The conductor is JoAnn Falletta, former conductor of the Denver Chamber Orch, whom we knew in Denver. We contacted her about our being there, & she met with us after the concert for a few minutes. It was exciting to see her & her husband, Robert, after so many years and see how well they are doing.
We have wanted to replace our sleeper sofa, which weighed too much, for some time. While here we were finally able to find a suitable replacement (Haynes Furniture coincidentally!). We rented a cargo van & did the great sofa swap. It was quite an adventure getting them in & out the door. We donated the old one to charity, & they were quite pleased to get something so nice. The cats LOVE the new one!
