Here is a glimpse of our week at Virginia Beach:
I took the kids to the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk (using our LA Zoo pass). We went to story time where they read stories about animals and then bring out some animals for the kids to see up close and touch. It was a smaller zoo, so were able to see most everything in about 2 hours, which was good because it was getting HOT!
There are some VERY wild animals in Virginia, you have to watch out!
We also rented a surrey to explore the coast of Virginia Beach and to get some exercise. We found a fabulous park at the end of the board walk, so the kids were able to get out and play too.
We also took Ethan for his first experience at miniature golfing. He almost always got a hole in one. He would run with his ball up to the hole and then bat it in. The kids loved it.
The kids enjoyed running up and down the little sand hills on the beach. Ethan loved to "trip" and fall when he got to the bottom.
James was able to join us in the evenings when his conference sessions were over, the days were hot and the water was warm, so we spent plenty of time on the beach. Our hotel is right behind them in this picture.
James was teaching Brielle how to body surf.
I also took the kids to Colonial Williamsburg. I wanted them to love it, but it was very hot, which made it hard for them to want to walk around. Ethan did enjoy seeing some of the animals. I dragged the kids around to see some of the houses and buildings, but we were all glad to live in a time of air conditioned cars.
Ethan fell in love with boats while on this trip. We went to Harbor Festival in Norfolk and we were able to tour lots of boats and see some great demonstrations from the Navy about their speed boats and helicopter rescues.
