Virginia Beach

Last week for our preschool time we focused on airplanes.  Our kids were SO excited about going on a plane trip!  They have both flown before, but it has been about a year since doing so, so it was not something that they remembered.

James is in Virginia Beach for a conference all week.  They were nice enough to schedule the conference RIGHT on the beach.  It is beautiful!  James is busy all day every day, but is able to meet us for his lunch and dinner breaks.  We enjoy eating at this restaurant because we get to watch the dolphins swim by in the waves. 

The kids are enjoying exploring the hotel and playing hide and seek.  We have been happy with this hotel being very kid friendly.  There is a movie theater, 2 lazy rivers, water slides and kids eat free.  Can't beat that!

who wouldn't love swimming?


We are getting a chance to eat lots of different kinds of seafood.  The kids are doing great at trying new foods, even ones that look like what we catch at the beach.  Ellie took a bite of some crab meat, but Dad had to finish it off.  We have been loving that many of the restaurants in the city have free meals for kids.  Makes trying new food for them a little less painful for Mom and Dad.

More pictures and stories to come...
