Virginia Beach 2020!

Our bi-annual Houghtaling family vacation took us to Virginia Beach. 
We definitely had a small crowd this year due to COVID but we still enjoyed our time. 

AG helped pack the car! 

We stopped at a fabulous Mexican restaurant on our in Maryland. John and I both agreed it was the best Mexican we've ever had. 

 The bad weather for the first half led us to reading books, games, puzzles, and a small shopping spree for warm clothes. 
Our first night there we were on our own for dinner. 
These 2 went to a seafood buffet...

...while this girl and I went to Panera. 

There were just as many kids as adults. My girls had a blast with their cousins! 
The main squad was Ava, Addy, Teagan and Marley. 
Teagan and Marley belong to John's niece who lives in Florida. 
The girls were the best of friends all week and have even talked a few times since we've been home. 


























We took advantage of the beach when we could but just enjoyed the trip with our family. 











Ava Kate got some amazing shots with the GoPro. 
We love the underwater shots!



Family photo night!









We also celebrated my 44th trip around the sun! 
We went out for nachos and margaritas for lunch and then John's family surprised me with cake and ice cream! 


So, let me tell you about my posse. 
It will come as no surprise that I love kids but these girls had my heart all week. 
They were never very far from me. 
Hanging out. Sitting outside the bathroom waiting for me. Finding me to give them baths and do their hair. 
It was so cute!!





After a week of fun, we had to head home. 
ALL.THE.STARBUCKS. were closed on the way home. 
So this...I doubled up. 

And these girlies were thrilled with their first official Slurpees.
