I was able to get out today and find some awesome shark's teeth on the beach near Colonial Beach. The weather was perfect and the water was warm. The teeth are so cool, and they are ancient!

Then, over to Town Hill for the Classic Car Festival, the Westmoreland Berry Farm (Father's Day Celebration), Points Race at the Dragstrip or Westmoreland State Park (Fishing, GPS Hike, Kayaking).
