Hubby and I took a vacation to Virginia Beach for our five year anniversary. It was a great trip! We dropped the kids off on our anniversary (Friday), just before dinner. We went to a great restaurant near our home, then came back and watched a movie and had a relaxing night in. The next day we did a long bike ride into campus and walked around the gardens, went out to lunch, and cleaned and packed at home. Sunday we had a mostly lazy day in, with more cleaning and vacation prep. Bright and early Monday morning we left (somewhere around 4:30 I think), grabbed some snacks for the road and headed to the Pittsburgh Zoo. It was a great stop and a nice break in the trip before we continued on to Virginia Beach.
We stayed in the Oceanaire resort for three nights. We walked the boardwalk a couple of times, spent some time in the pool, went out to eat, toured the naval base, watched the military jets take off, and toured the Virginia Air and Space Center, but our highlight from the trip was definitely doing a dolphin viewing kayak trip. We saw so many dolphins! They were really close, too, almost close enough to touch. It was a very neat experience that I hope we can have again in the future. We both loved it.
On the way home from Virginia Beach we stopped in Colonial Williamsburg to walk around and pick up a souvenir for Bug, since we had found one for Peanut but not for Bug yet. Mission successful, we returned with an animal umbrella for Peanut and a pop gun noisemaker for Buggy. The kids had a great week with Grandma and Grandpa and enjoyed their vacation as much as we did! The trip was also a successful transition from nursing, and Buggy did great!!
