It's been a few weeks now since we returned from our little vacation to Virginia Beach... but life has been keeping us overwhelmingly busy so I have not yet posted a lot of our photos... and I took A LOT of pictures!So, now I'm taking a few minutes to post a few more of my favorite 
ones.
ones.One night we rented one of these family bicycles. I thought the boys would love it. Apparently, it wasn't Don's favorite activity... he complained about it the minute we started peddling! And, of course, being 8 months pregnant... I was not a high speed peddler! We rode it along the boardwalk and stopped fo
r dinner at a hotel we had eaten at during a prior visit to Virginia Beach. We sat out on a screened in porch and enjoyed dinner. It was fun except for the dark clouds that started rolling in accompanied by lightening off in the distance and there we were with the boys and this bicycle built for four! ugh. Fortunately, we managed to scarf down dinner and peddle back as fast as we could to miss the thunderous storm. It was
a memorial night for sure!

So, Don and I took turns spending time with him on the beach while Samuel napped in the afternoons. It worked out well. One of the days, Samuel and I had a good nap and the next Samuel and Don got a good rest. 
Samuel loved the beach too. Mostly, he enjoyed playing in the sand with the sand toys. But he did go into the water on a few occasions with Daddy.

And we all loved the hotel's pools. They had an outdoor pool, an indoor pool and a small lazy river indoor as well. The boys both LOVED the lazy river so we found ourselves spending a lot of time floating around there.
In addition to the actual beach, we took a couple trips close by to visit the Virginia Aquarium where we also took a pontoon boat out into the harbor. It was relaxing an
d enjoyable after walking around and exploring the aquarium exhibits. We also enjoyed a morning at a local water park. They had a nice size area for the lil kids t
o explore and Daddy also took them each down a couple of the bigger water slides. Overall, it was a great trip with some rainy nights but we managed to escape the rain during the days. We stopped at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg on the way back but I will have to post photos from that excursion in yet another post!

This was our third trip to Virginia Beach. We have tried to make it into a Father's Day weekend tradition... but, of course, last year during Daddy-O's deployment we didn't make it to the beach. We were all thankful to have Daddy home with us to enjoy Father's Day this year. I think we will all miss our annual trip to Virginia Beach but are eager to explore all that Europe has to offer!
