Strong Bonds in Virginia Beach

The Army does a few things right.  Lots of things, really.  But one of the things that I love is Strong Bonds, a marriage retreat.  The Army Reserve realized that one of the fall outs of long deployments (Army deploys for 12-18 month tours) and many of them, is divorce.  So, they created these marriage retreats, run by the chaplains, so equip Army marriages with conflict resolution techniques.  The best part about these is the locations!  We took the kids and headed to a Strong Bonds in Virgina Beach.  The retreat was great, but it was all about spending time together. 






Saturday night is date night.  Mark was lucky enough to have 3 dates!!  After an amazing meal on the waterfront, we walked the beach at sunset!  Very romantic!






Then we found a little amusement park where Hope conquered the rock wall!!  Check out that smile!
