Virginia Beach day

Daddy had a meeting in Virginia Beach. The meeting was in the afternoon so we had time to do some fun stuff first. We stayed in a Hotel the night before so we didn't have to waste time driving. Janis picked the hotel based on price... Good thing we were on the 12th floor because the hotel was in the projects and there was a huge block party going on.
In the morning we went to the beach. It was nice. The kids loved it. Zoe has been asking to go back to the beach ever since our trip in March. Jackson played and played in the waves. Zach joined him but he liked playing in the sand too. Zoe spent most of the time attached to daddy's leg. These are my first pictures on the new iphone. I couldn't see because the sun was so bright and I didn't know where the camera lens was so a few pictures have part of my finger in them.
We stayed at the beach until our parking meter was up, then we went to an aquarium. Jackson and Zach wanted to see Sharks and snakes, mommy wanted to see and octopus and I wanted to see a gorilla. It was fun but they didn't have an octopus or any gorillas. Zoe actually touched a real snake! The kids did great in the car. It isn't easy to spend 8 of 24 hrs driving but they did it.
Dawson had a super blowout requiring us to pull over and change him on the side of the free way. Sometimes it might not be good to have a camera so handy... Well, here's some pictures.
