Summer Vacation ~Day 6~ Virignia Beach

 Monday we woke up very early to get a good start on the day for our 9 hour drive to Virgina Beach.

 We made really good time driving but as we were getting closer we ended up driving through a huge rain storm. We made it safely to our hotel and were so excited to see the view from our room.  We have never been able to stay right on the beach like this so it was so cool to be able to hear and see the ocean from our room.
 My parents came along with us so we meet up with them for some lunch.
 After lunch we couldn't wait to head out to the beach so we had a nice short walk to get to the ocean.
 It was warm out but still very cloudy but that didn't stop us from wanting to go right out into out into the warm ocean water.


The kids were having a blast and even my dad didn't want to wait to get in so he jumped in clothes and all.
We all had fun in the water but the waves were pretty big so we couldn't go out very far.  The kids have never been in big waves like this before so they were having a blast.
The storm we drove through to get there came through and the life guards cleared the beach because of the lightning.  Se we all went inside to get changed and rest from our long drive.  Its amazing how fast a full beach can be cleared it was amazing.  It was fun to watch the storm roll over and the lightning out in the water.  Even though our first day was cut short it was a great way to start our second half of our vacation.
