One of the activities I'd been dying to do when I came home in the summers was go shark tooth fossil hunting at Westmooreland State Park in Amelia County, Virginia. We finally got to go this summer!

We signed up to do a kayaking trip on the Potomac River down to where you find the teeth on the beach. Though, when we got there, the waves were pretty large and we were told that there could be no kayaking. Instead, we just did the short hike down to the fossil teeth beach. (Along the way I managed to fall over and skid, upside down, down a small rocky hill. I wounded my leg pretty good and Courtney and Mom couldn't help but crack up.)
We hung out on the beach hunting for teeth and playing in the sand. We found quite a few! This was one of my favorite trips this summer!
