End of School Bash at Virginia Beach

To celebrate the end of the school year, we took the kids to Virginia Beach for a little vacation. 

But first a few pics of daily life

Tanner trying on one of his shirts to see if it is ok for the family picture we are taking with my family in August.

It was approved!

Maddie painted rocks at activity days.

They are back in person twice a month, so she goes every other week and then Tanner goes on the weeks that she is not going.

Kinley lost her first tooth!

The tooth fairy brought her $2

Pretty girl

The kids have a little garden on the deck and they take very good care of their plants, checking on them a few times a day and watering them. They are growing really good!

First swim of the summer at our neighbor's house

On the road to Virginia Beach!

First stop was Taco Bell for lunch

Trying out all the pools.

The hotel had 3 awesome pools

One even had two slides!

We went to the beach, which was super clean and nice and beautiful

At King Triton's, I mean, Neptune's statue

They had a fun playground on the beach

They also had an obstacle course.

This is Maddie walking the tightrope

During the day every day while we were there, F-18 Super Hornets were flying over us.

They were so loud!

We found this great Mexican place that had a $2 taco special!

They were delicious

We walked all the way down the boardwalk to the pier. It was about two miles so we bought the kids chocolate dipped ice cream cones to fortify them for the way back.

It worked pretty well.

There was all this fun artwork along the boardwalk

I got an acai smoothie bowl. 

I have always wanted to try one. Tanner said the smoothies that I make are better.

Pizza for lunch, and then they had ice cream at the pizza place, so we got a second round

Part of the obstacle course.

Trevor almost made it to the top!

More artwork on the beach

The hotel had a kids room where kids could color, play games, do crafts, and see two tortoises roaming around. We went twice and it was really fun.

We loved our balcony

Maddie made a few bracelets in the kids room

And Tanner did too

Hotel breakfast

The indoor pool had a bunch of waterfalls and a lazy river

And it was nice and warm

The kids loved the pool so much.

On the beach

Kinley found a dime on our walk

And that was our trip!

We had so much fun and are looking forward to going again sometime.
