VACATION!!!

     Well, it's safe to say that I am beyond excited about our upcoming FAMILY VACAY!! In fact, this will be the first actual family vacation since having Hales...mainly because taking more than one child away from their daily routine is daunting; and a little scary. :-)  But, I am not pregnant for what seems like the first time in forever and am FULL OF ENERGY! So let's get this show on the road, people.
     We decided on Williamsburg because it's not too long of a drive and there is a ton of stuff to do. My Sissy is joining us, as well, so we won't be double (or triple) teamed, haha. We will be gone from June 30th to July 3rd (with the possibility of staying an additional night or two depending on finances and the kids' behaviors). While we are there we will also have the opportunity to FINALLY see my SIL's hubby, who we are super proud of in his decision to serve in the US Army!!! So, it will be an awesome reunion before having to head back home.
      On our list of to do's is definitely Busch Gardens...I keep showing the little ones pictures and trying to explain what a theme park is, but they don't quite get it; it's one of those things you have to experience first hand! And Noah Bug has been there before but he hadn't started walking yet, so he doesn't have any memories of the place.

Hard to believe this was summer 2010.

     We will also be visiting several playgrounds including one at York River State Park. We have the pleasure of stopping by that summer but only for a little while. This year, we may take a swing at their little beach and hang out for a while longer. Isn't is just beautiful?

    AND, our final stop will be Virginia Beach, which I haven't seen in 3 1/2 years. Last visit, little Bug was hanging out in my belly!

     I can't wait to post pictures of THIS YEAR's vacation memories! Hope each of you is enjoying this beautiful SUMMER weather!!
