Today was unusually warm for a Virginia winter.  Rainstorms were rolling in to pour all afternoon but that meant in the morning it was windy but a warm 70 degrees.  Today was the first day Brooke and I went to our friend’s Jill and Landen’s house for moms bookclub and playdate.  In the morning I got to discuss a book with 8 other mom’s and Brooke got to play with 8 other toddlers her age.  We both had a great time and ate a great brunch.  Jill lives in the neighborhood East Beach which is on the Chesapeake Bay.  Since it was such a nice day I declared that we were going to the beach afterwards.  I took Brooke’s tights and shoes off and we enjoyed a short while with our toes in the sand.
