After a long hiatus from blogging, Cookies n' Cream is back. It's amazing what the completion of a huge engineering project and a Master's degree graduation will do to free up some time. Now we're a little more free to do fun stuff like blog and......
Clean the Bay Day! Jon and I volunteered with some others from his company to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay and its' watersheds over the weekend. We were assigned to the "downtown" of Virginia Beach which we really didn't think would be that dirty but once we got a closer look it was gross!
Our team picked up close to 1,000 cigarette butts in a just 2 hours. We found a shopping cart in a water retention pond that Jon tried valiantly to pull out of the muck (it was waaay too stuck!). Oh, and plastic shopping bags can get really disgusting! Overall, Clean the Bay picked up 19,000 pounds of trash. It's sad that there's that much trash laying around.
