Memories of My Visit to the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge ~ 9-6-11

This was my world last week....The Back Bay National Wildlife Preserve at Virginia Beach, Virginia. We lost 3 days of our week’s vacation due to Irene, but the other 4 were filled with wonderful trips to the refuge and fun times with my family.
