We're BAAACK! Virginia Part One

Well, our trip was a huge success. It's been ten days since we left and it feels good to be home. The next few postings will be our trip broken down bit by bit. Today are half of the highlights from Virginia Beach.

The hotel was great...both of the kids seemed happy to be in their pack and play cribs. We were a little worried about this since they hadn't used them since they were small infants and sitting on the top shelf..but they seemed content as can be! Thanks Aikes for the quilts...came in handy!



They had the best view in the room..looking right out to the beach!


Papi and Lucas on the deck..



We decided to take the twins to the beach on the second day we were there.
Liliana looks a little unsure about this whole thing.


Hanging out and playing while Mami and Papi get themselves ready.



The beach, the weather, even the water...everything was beautiful. We only had one real beach day and we completely lucked out.


Felix setting up our "station". I bought that tent from another mother of twins. Its great for us..keeps the kids cool and protected from just about everything.








All set up and ready to relax.



This one is one of my favorites from the trip..almost like she is talking to him.



Lucas and Felix playing in the cabana..




Liliana enjoying the lounge chair to herself. Shortly after this was taken, she almost rolled right off...but we caught her...oops!



Liliana and I taking in the waves. She loved them. The water was a bit cold for the twins, but she didn't seem to mind.




The whole fam in the water. If you click on the picture you can see that Lucas was having none of it...it was a bit too cold for his taste. Pobrecito!



So that was our day at the beach. We have to say, the twins were remarkable travelers. They did great with long stretches in the car, slept all night through all the nights we were away (with one small exception) and the genuinely seemed happy throughout the trip.
Until next time..we will post about the Virginia Sullivans and our visits with them!
