Virginia Beach!

My parents and grandma flew up on September 11th and we rented a van, and loaded it up then traveled up to Virginia. On the trip up, we dropped my grandma off at my Uncle Steve's house near Richmond, VA and ate supper with them.

Then Rebecca, Ethan, my parents, and I continued on from my uncle's house Friday night, and arrived at our hotel on Virginia Beach a little after 10p.m.!

We stayed at the Comfort Inn & Suites Oceanfront, right on the boardwalk(not really boards as it's actually paved!?).

We stayed three nights, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and checked out Monday morning.

The hotel had a "free deluxe continental breakfast" every morning that we ate, but we would go out for lunch and dinner.

Saturday morning right outside the hotel, along Atlantic Avenue, there was a Shriner's parade and my dad went and watched that for a little while, and my mom and Rebecca went looking at some shops. I stayed in the room with Ethan while he was trying to take his morning nap.

Here's a run down of our events:

Friday: Checked in around 10p.m.

Saturday: Ate breakfast around 9a.m. at the hotel.

Saturday after lunch at SUBWAY, Rebecca and I took "old time photos" with Ethan at a shop right across from our hotel, the pictures should be uploaded soon.

Saturday afternoon, pawpaw stayed in the room with Ethan while he was attempting another nap. Rebecca, my mom, and I went walking along the boardwalk...the walk back is where I decided to get low bloodsugar...I can count on one hand how many times in five years this has happened and of course it would happen when we get to the beach! Two cokes and about 20 minutes later I was fine, and we continued our walk.

Saturday night we drove out to Captain George's Seafood Restaurant because we had heard from the workers at the hotel, as well as a lady when we were leaving the hotel, that it was, "REALLY GOOD!". It was a huge buffet, and I was able to get crab legs for the first time in a long time, but it wasn't as good, in my opinion, as what everybody was saying. If you ever go to Virginia Beach and people are recommending Captain George's...just know it's like a typical buffet, with some seafood though.

Sunday: Sunday morning we ate breakfast, then decided to go to visit the Cape Henry Lighthouse. After not knowing where we were going for an hour, we finally discovered the location...which was only 10 minutes away from our hotel!

We grabbed lunch at McDonald's on the way back to the hotel.

Sunday afternoon, my aunt, uncle, two cousins and grandma came over from near Richmon, VA and spent the afternoon hanging out at the beach. They left after supper, which was at Angelo's By The Sea. After supper, we went walking down the baordwalk and took some photos by some of the sculptures along it.

Monday: Packed up, ate breakfast and checked out around 9:30a.m. and headed back home.
