Va Beach-Day 3

We had to check out of the hotel so we packed our lunch for the day and Dan loaded up the car. We got to the beach around 10 am to spend our last day in Va Beach. It was hot, but the wind was blowing so it was a bit more reasonable. Carter met some friends from Canada and played in the water/sand with them almost all day. Sean of course made another drippy castle, with my help and he also spent a good amount of the day in the water. The water was a lot more chopping and it was pulling you down the beach a bit. We had to keep a close eye on both of the kids, especially Carter who would end up 100 yards down the beach without even noticing!

We ate our packed lunch around 12:30 and decided to stay as long as the kids could handle it. About 3:30 Carter's friends left and she was looking tired. She sat with me for about 30 minutes in the shade and it seemed like she could fall asleep at any minute. Sean was playing in the water and we told him he could play as long as he wanted and then we would leave when he was done. We had access to the pool hotel and bathrooms so we were able to rinse off and change before heading home. The kids got their second wind and enjoyed some pool time before we changed to leave.

It is always a sad day when you leave the beach, however, we do have one more trip in our future. We head back to Va Beach for labor day with my family. We love the beach and we'll take any chance we can to have our toes in the sand! It was a wonderful 3 day trip. We rarely vacation just the four of us and we are glad we made the decision at the last minute!
