Virginia Beach Vacation

We tagged along with Nathan on a work trip to Virginia Beach the week before school started.  We stopped to visit our dear friends in North Carolina for a few days before heading to Virginia since they were on the way!  It had been three years since we had seen them and everyone had grown!  We were so happy to see their amazing custom built home and explore some of the beauty of North Carolina before heading to the beach.

 Exploring a state park in Greensboro looking for Pokemon Go! stops along the way

 The Beach!  Our hotel was on the beach so we spent each day enjoying the sand and water while Nathan worked.

 These two spent hours each day on their boogie boards.  They had a ball!

 We checked out a hidden state park one morning where Trenton built this sand castle, but we weren't terribly impressed with the sand and water here.

 Dallin fit inside Trenton's castle!

 Our balcony for the week overlooking the beach.  It was very hot while we were there!

 This little boy prefers the beach, but he did spend a little time in the water now and then.

Dallin spent hours playing in the sand while the others swam.

 Just brothers sun bathing on the beach!

 We visited the aquarium one afternoon to get out of the heat for a few hours.

 Hiking outside the aquarium.

 Nathan's company treated us to indoor sky diving at iFly one afternoon.  I decided taking the pictures seemed much safer! Their suits and helmets made for this adorable picture!  They were so cute all geared up!

 It was hard to get good pictures through the glass, but this is Owen.  We did get a portrait package of our flights, but I haven't accessed them yet.

 Neptune statue right next to our hotel along the beach.  We passed him everyday on the way to the beach.  We captured this picture on our last morning on the beach.
