On The Road Again - Day 6

Virginia Beach is awesome! We would definitely like to come back here.  The beach is really nice and the boardwalk is really fun.  It reminded me a lot of Surfer's Paradise in Australia! There were even surfers in the ocean.  




We had dinner on the boardwalk and then decided to go for a little drive to the Chesapeake Bay bridge.  The bridge is considered one of the 7 structural engineering wonders of the world and is 17.6 miles long.  It was super cool to dive out and feel like we were in the middle of the ocean! We missed the sunset, but it was still worth it! 





Tomorrow is a long driving day as we head to Charleston,SC.

On The Road Again - Day 5


Today we left Wahington, DC to continue our journey South.  We made our first stop in Williamsburg, VA.

Williamsburg is a little colonial town that takes you back in time just by crossing a bridge. 




We opted out of paying admission to tour the buildings, but enjoyed watching the residents of this town in their old colonial clothing, and the cute buildings. 






We had lunch at a tavern before heading back out on the road. 


Before long, we were at the beach and Logan got to play in the sand and went in the ocean for the first time! 


One thing that was really cool was that we were super close to a naval base and there was almost a constant stream of fighter jets and helicopters flying over head.  


Simon decided to stay back at the hotel while we took a walk on the boardwalk and enjoyed a little outdoor concert.  Tomorrow is a beach day!
