Yesterday Nana, Matthew and I took a trip to the Norfolk zoo. Finally we had our beautiful sunny Virginia Beach weather. We were happy to see that my Detroit Zoo pass got us into the zoo for free here too!! It was a beautiful zoo, with palm trees 
and bamboo everywhere. The animals were all in a natural habitat, which made them hard to see sometimes, but I was happy to see that they were not all in cages.After the zoo, we took a ride over to Croatan beach 
(the beach that only the "locals" know about! )We saw a few surfers out in the water (though the waves are only 3' waves!) Matthew was not a big fan of the off shore breeze or the bright sun! He was absolutely terrified of the sand!! I tried to sit him down 
on the sand and he just looked at me and cried to be picked up. I think he was afraid he would sink into it!~ We ended up laying down a blanket from Nana's car on a sand dune next to the walkway, so that we were out of the wind, away from the water, and off the sand :-) 
Oh well!! Mommy got a little sun, and Matthew played on the blanket. Not a bad way to spend an hour! We headed back to the house around 3pm, since Matthew was feeling pretty crummy today, and not eating much at all. We were hoping the outdoors would help him feel better.

As you can see in the photo, he was not his happy self at the end of the afternoon. He came back to the house and took a long nap! Today (Saturday) he is finally back to his normal happy self, with a new molar tooth in his mouth! No wonder he was not eating yesterday.
