There is a really nice park in Newport News that John and I used to go to when we first moved here. We didn't know but we were only seeing a small portion of it all this time! Here are some old pictures when we rented bikes to ride through their 5 mile trail, and we also rented paddle boats a few times. These are from 2007:
But if you drive down a little further, there is an entrance for the campsite. Every Christmas they have a really cool drive thru "celebration of Lights" which we didn't go to because it costs $10...but we should've! Anyway, down that path, there are many picnic areas, and boating docks, and great playgrounds which Lucas is just starting to enjoy. He loved seeing the sea gulls on the dock, and playing with the leaves. He also already seems to have had a crush on a little girl! Olivia pretty much slept in her new carrier. Very nice park! Can't wait for it to really warm up and be outside all day! :

I'm a native of Newport News but I moved to Central Virginia recently to persue jobs. NN has a great park. Cute kid, too. I want to be a father someday.
