Virginia Beach

So this was our first time there, granted it took us um a little less than six hours it was well worth it and I would definitely do it again. Maybe not right now but in two months or something haha. Let's break down our mini vacation ...

Day 1:
* Leave for VA around um i think it was 530ish we drove drove drove got a speeding ticket

* Finally got to Va around oh 1130ish maybe, now check in is not till 3 so we were hoping it would be ready for us to go up cause man we were tired and needed a major potty break, so we walk into the lobby and I swear to you the lady at the front desk got her ass kicked by somebody that's for sure. I mean she had two black eyes (my brother jokingly says that's what happens when you don't listen) she had bruises around her face and she just looked fucked up!!!! Anyway luckily our room was ready so we went back relaxed for a few minutes and out the door we went.

* So we decided to check out the boardwalk and the art show that was going on, there really were some amazing art out there, but i couldn't afford any of it even if i wanted to, i mean one huge piece of art was like 3000+ and it's not like that's pocket change to me that's for sure. Any who so we walk to one end and it finishes so we walk to the other end to see the other art, we came in about the middle of the boardwalk. So we walk and walk and look and talk and walk and then we spot food now we're starving so we eat some good grub and keep on walking. The first thought in my head was fuck we should have waited to eat to see what else was out here cause the further we walked the more i would have rather have had that stuff haha. So we walk our asses off cause that boardwalk was long. So we go up a couple blocks to the main street to check out the shops and what they have around there. By then it's almost like 5ish, we were out there a long time so we go back to the room change into our swimsuits and jump in the pool.

* the pool was super refreshing and so nice we had fun, and then we went to grub some more at this place called coney island eats which OMG best food ever!!! Now I really have to go to coney island here in ny haha. so after relaxin even more we checked the time and it was a good time to check out the boat ride stuff.

* so we got to the marina around 645 for a boat ride to check out some dolphins at 7, it was fabulous. we didn't see too many dolphins but we spotted a couple and had a really nice time, even if the kids wouldn't move so i could get a good picture haha. But then as we were enjoying the views and looking for dolphins the boat just took off like a madwoman being chased by her husband with a knife. that's when it got really windy and my hair was flying all over thep lace, and it got really cold.

* after the boat ride we went back to the hotel to shower and change and out again to the boardwalk. but this time we parked closer to the stuff cause we wanted to go to the Mirror of Mazes and Fun House. Which was cute ... when we got out of the car there was a street performer there and he was asking for a lighter sure enough Kirk had one so he went up to volunteer. My dumb ass left the camera in the car and kirk had the keys LOL so no good pictures of that moment.

* so we went into the maze first and that was cute we kept running back and forth, and yeah i hit the mirror a couple times cause i thought there was an opening there ahha it was cute though. I could definitely see how a kid could stay there for a while. I know when we reached the exit we kept going back and forth back and forth a couple more times, needed to get our money's worth ya know.

* after that we walked around a little more then went back to the hotel (the rest is not for ur eyes or ears haha)

Day2:
* Happy Father's Day (i forgot till the maid said something hahahah)

* Went downstairs to get some grub, lemme tell you how their buffet was banging. I mean the bacon was excellent, eggs good, pancakes good, juice refreshing. I wanted to go there the next day but there was no way we'd have made it in time it wasn't early enough but man that was some good grub

* changed into our swimsuits and headed for the beach. It was still pretty light at the beach (meaning not a lot of people) so i loved that fact. we went in and after i don't know ten minutes the water started getting higher, yup that's right high tide. Let's just say those waves killed me. kirk went to go take pictures of this pirate ship that was passing by and he was taking pictures of me sure enough it was at the worst moment. This huge wave came and pummelled me to the floor and i scraped my knee. I tried to get up, yet another way pushed me on my ass, again i tried to get up but nope it just wasn't happening back down on my knees. it just wasn't workin for me i tried one more time and back on my ass fully covered and submerged in the water finally i see kirk taking pictures of this cause he's having fun i'm like kirk i almost drowned lol. He's like I thought you were having fun. Men!!! anyway so then it was his turn to go in so i could take pictures of him and then we went in for a while more then came out relaxed went back to the hotel to shower and get the ton of sand that was all over me, in me under me everywhere lol.

* Then we went shopping for souvenirs for everyone (t-shirts lol). After walking and shopping for a while we went to go pick up some lunch and then back to the hotel for some more swimming. That was fun for sure, after that we went to play some mini golf which let's just say I kicked some major ass. Then walk around some more back to the hotel for shower and change and then back out on the streets for dinner and some fun. Checked out the boardwalk rides (i hate rides). then went back to the hotel slept and left in the early am.

All in all it was a fabulous trip, and i would definitely do it again soon.

glad you had a good weekend away. i can't wait until justin's knee is not busted so that he will actually have fun on vacations. i'd never been in a mirror maze until a couple of weekends ago in branson, man that thing was crazy. my brother found the exit first so we were trying to follow him, but the mirrors confused the hell out of us.
