Virginia Beach

So we have these awesome friends, the Frischknechts, and they are really cool people.  Jake and Steve had all of their classes together their first year of law school.  Sierra and I hit it off as friends, so we're a pretty compatible couple-couple :)  Except that Jake is a Ute and we are Cougars...that's okay since Sierra went to BYU too.  

Anyways, we talked about going on a weekend trip and we put it on the calendar and actually did it! That's a big deal for us.  We always talk about doing things and sometimes it's just hard to actually make it happen.  Well, this time it worked!  So we left Friday right after work and drove down to Virginia Beach.  The next morning we met up with Jake and Sierra and ate breakfast and headed to the beach.  It was conveniently a block away from our hotel.  We had been worried because the forecast said rainy all day long.  But it wasn't too bad.  It rained a bit here and there, but worked out.  We were able to get some good beach time in and some good indoor relaxing time.  Steve and I enjoyed the Disney Channel (why I have always loved those cheesy disney channel movies, I don't know...I just do.)  We also had some salt water taffy (which i think is a must at the beach!)  And we enjoyed the swimming pool while the kids napped in the strollers on the side. It was a fun trip and we're glad we did it!

Nate loves kicking balls, I think we have a soccer player on our hands.  He didn't love the water, but he LOVED kicking the beach ball up and down the beach.

Not the cutest picture of me...but the waves were awesome and we did some pretty awesome body surfing.   How anyone wears a bikini and keeps it on while body surfing is beyond me. 

They are cute, right?

And how 'bout us?

Jake got Nate to keep his hat on!!!  

Relaxing on the beach!

I thought this picture was cool because Steve looks like a little boy, but also look at that man's running form in the back, he almost looks fake.

We had a great time and I would definitely go back.  3 hours isn't too bad a drive for the PERFECT beach!
