Aaaaand… We’re home! Back to reality. No more vacation. Cody looks so happy to have us back, doesn’t he? Either that or he’s just scared by how scary I look… It’s ok…I’m pretending that he really missed us like crazy, no matter how scary I may look, and didn’t spend the entire time raiding the ...
One Last Tradition To Do
Last night, on our last evening here, the four of us headed out for one last stop on our Wildwood tradition list…the Boardwalk. As usual, things were hustlin’ and bustlin’! We even got to catch the tram car and listen to the repetitive “Watch the tram car, please!” blasting from its speakers a few ...
We Bid Our Final Farewell
You know, I’ll tell you guys something. I think if we had spent our whole vacation here, rather than both here and Virginia, I’d be leaving with some killer calves… Walking the Wildwood beach is no joke. Just LOOK at this thing. Before heading to the beach this morning and getting my calf ...
What I’ve Been Waiting All Vacation For
Growing up, our family vacation destination was always Wildwood, NJ. Some years we came down just my parents, brother and I; some years I was able to bring friends like Heather and Eileen; some years we even came down with 40+ people from my dad’s old softball team. No matter how many people, it was ...
I Love The Beach, But…
I’m pretty certain that if somebody told me that I had to live on a beach for the rest of my life, I’d be totally okay with it. Today was a perfect beach day: hot, partially wispy clouds to break up the heat, not-too-cold ocean water, and a refreshing little breeze. I say not-too-cold water, but I ...
Attack Of Motion Sickness
I’m gonna let you guys in on a little info… For the past three nights, I have been sleeping on what may possibly by the worst pull-out sofa bed ever made on the face of this planet. We’re talkin’ a “mattress” about 3 inches thick, with springs and coils that insisted on constantly stabbing me in the ...
The Last Hurrah In Virginia Beach
Good morning! Happy Tuesday! How’s everyone doin’ today?? Well, as I alluded to last night, yesterday was another awesome day down here in Virginia Beach. We started off by spending a good portion of the morning and afternoon down by the beach, enjoying the sand between our toes and listening to the ...
The Best Kept (Kinda) Secret In Virginia Beach
Last night, Jay and I had such a great Date Night. But I know you guys already heard about it! Yesterday afternoon, I put out a call on Twitter for suggestions of restaurants here in Virginia Beach. Not long after, I received this message from Alyssa… Best kept secrets?? Well let me ...
Burger & Beer
After a long, sun-filled afternoon spent on the beach, we all decided there was only one way to come back and recuperate… With some frozen drinks, of course! My parents may have forgotten the cups, but the hotel had us covered. And they also made sure not to forget the fancy umbrellas! Now I know ...
Welcome To Virginia Beach!
We’ve arrived!! We got down here to Virginia Beach this morning and were greeted with cloudy but dry skies. Our hotel is located right on the boardwalk with only a short walk to the beach…which, by the way, has some of the most beautiful sand. We arrived too early to be able to check into our ...
