After Jamestown, and a brief stop at the outlets, we headed to Virginia Beach! Originally the forecast had not been one favorable of a stop at the beach, but as the day progressed, the promised thunderstorm was pushed back later and later! So, we sailed by the hotel (the perk of a husband who travels a lot!), grabbed some pizza from a local Little Caesars, and headed straight for the beach! As we walked onto the beach, we ran into some old friends, and spent some time watching the kiddos play in the waves, the adults catching up! It was wonderful!

| Team Work- pizza and toys! |
 |
| SO excited to be at the beach!! |
After playing for over 2 hours in the frigid water, building many sand castles, and consuming lots of pizza, we headed to the hotel. We dropped off our things in a huge room and headed for the pool! There they swam for almost an hour!

| Cutest luggage ever! |
 |
| Living on the edge- putting their feet in the hot tub! |
We ended the evening by watching some of Annie- how they could keep their eyes open after such a long and action-packed day, I do not know!
They were all up and ready to go back the next morning! We grabbed a quick breakfast at the hotel- along with an entire bus-worth of a dance troupe from North Carolina Central University....

| Working and not fighting- I'll take it! |
This was the highlight for Addie- there were about 5-6 dolphins swimming down the coast! There were actually jumping at one point!
Putting to use the skills they learned from Jamestown....
The only way to leave the beach is with ice-cream in your hands- or a milkshake or a frosted lemonade...
The kids did great- they played for over 3 hours on the beach, rode for over 2 hours home, happily, helped unload and vacuum the van! It has been an amazing Spring Break! One filled with Virginia memories and history! We are abundently blessed!
