Virginia Beach

I apologize, there are no pictures of a little wee one on this post. This is all about our little trip to Virginia beach. Finally, a little Mommy and Daddy only vacation. When we were in Williamsburg, we realized how close we were to the ocean and decided to change our destination from Charlottesville to Virginia Beach. We have been craving the beach lately. Maybe because everyone around here has been heading to the Outer Banks, which we want to do later this summer for sure.

Anyway, my parents, brother, and niece kindly minded Noah for us, and we took off. Feeling only a little guilty about ditching the little guy on Father's Day.

Here we are poolside, on top of the Hilton's 21st floor.

The view from our room. This was late afternoon, when the crowds had dissipated a bit.

Here we are touring the pier before dinner.

Our view from the deck at Ocean Eddie's.

My favorite thing ever. Walking on the beach at sunset. East Coast or not.

Just a little lifeguarding, free of charge.

Our first night away in almost 9 months was sooo nice! Thanks to the fam for giving us a nice little break. Virginia Beach is nice enough for an overnight visit but I wouldn't really go back again. Cold, murky water, super-touristy, and thousands of people. We enjoyed our hotel and its restaurant though. The trip should "tide" us over. Heehee.
