VA Beach Trip

We decided to take a spur of the moment beach trip during Davis's time off. We went right after Memorial Day for a couple days. It was so much fun! We got great rates since it was right after memorial day and during the middle of the week. We scored a killer hotel at a really good price. It was the nicest hotel room I think I've ever stayed in! It was decorated well. I loved the color scheme.
There was granite in the bathroom. Yeah, granite. wow. And they had Bath and Body Works soap, lotion, and conditioner. yummy!
This was the view from our room. So beautiful! Plus the beach was practically empty since it was after memorial day and the hotel was at the very end of the board walk. So it was quiet and very relaxing.
We stopped in Suffolk and looked at a couple houses before we went to the beach. We were exhausted by the time we go to the hotel room. Poor Gavin was wiped out. He had trouble going to sleep the first night, but after that, he was a champ at sleeping in the pack n play.
Gavin was scared of the waves and ocean. We got to play in the sand a little but mainly spent our time at the 2 pools at the hotel. The indoor pool had  a lazy river that was fun to float around.
This photo made me laugh! Gavin's like "What up Dude?"
We even saw dolphins from our room. There was a pretty good sized pod the swam by and played just beyond the beach. That was fun seeing them in real life.

oh we LOVE VA beach! And staying in a hotel right on the beach is definitely the way to go. . .especially with kids! Joseph was scared of the waves, too, at first, but now we can't get him away from them!
