Beachin--Virginia Beach Recap

We got to Virginia Beach around 7:00 on Sunday. We should have been there around 5:30 but traffic was HORRIBLE.

We finally arrived and grabbed some dinner. By that point we were so exhausted so we just crashed. 

We woke up the next morning, grabbed some breakfast, then hit the beach.

We didn't stay out too long because it was kind of windy and a little chilly. We hopped in the car and made the short drive (approximately 15 minute) to Fort Story, which is why the Cape Henry lighthouse is located. 

The Lighthouse was amazing. We actually climbed up to the top of that thing! The views were amazing and it was so cool being on an actual base.

We grabbed dinner and went back to the hotel and relaxed for the remainder of the day.

Tuesday we woke up and grabbed breakfast (Bojangles!!!), then headed off for our trip to Williamsburg. It was about an hour and a half drive from our hotel, but it was worth it. We spent the entire day there!

Governor's Palace

Our last day there, we woke up and went to the aquarium. The aquarium was HUGE. It was actually two buildings with a nature walk between the two buildings.

We knew we were going to get an early dinner, so we went to the beach for a few more hours to soak up the last few hours of sunlight/beach time we had. We walked to dinner and stopped to grab a picture of this famous guy: 

We grabbed a nicer dinner and happen to look up and see one of our friends from high school and his girlfriend walking down the board walk. We met up with them and grabbed some drinks, bought some souvenirs, and made it back to the hotel in time to watch Catfish and crash.
