The only rental car that was available for Stacey and Morgan was a 15-passenger van. Hahahaha! Virginia Beach is a typical beach town with small, narrow streets, so Stacey was a little stressed about driving it. I decided to just Uber this trip because it was going to be cheaper than renting a car. We went to dinner together after the meet, and I asked if it wouldn't be too squishy and uncomfortable if Tessa and I could possibly ride with them. Haha! Stacey thought they could squeeze us in. :)
There's basically nowhere to park a van like that, so we went straight to the satellite lot for their hotel and then walked to dinner. Atlantic Avenue is a party at night and there was entertainment on almost every corner.
We stopped and watched the Unicycling Unicorn Man's show.
The next morning Tessa wanted to try on her new leotard. She and Morgan bought matching ones at the meet. They're super cute.
We met up with Morgan and Stacey and spent the day at the beach. Tessa wanted us to wear our matching swimsuits. :)
The beach is our happy place!!
Stacey and I got to visit and read our books while the girls enjoyed the waves and the sand.
We walked to dinner and got some ice cream before they had to leave for the airport. I just love that Tess and Morgan get to do this whole gymnastics life together. They're such cute friends!
Tessa and I had to check out of our hotel the next morning, but our flight didn't leave until the evening. Luckily the hotel kept our luggage all day and let us use their bathrooms to change before we left for the airport. That was really nice! We rented a surrey rode up and down the boardwalk.
We found a Lending Box by the pier that had a boogie board in it, so we grabbed that and put it in the surrey with us.
It was very hot that day, especially after pedaling around in the surrey, so the ocean felt so good!
We swam out past where the waves were breaking and enjoyed the more relaxing ebb and flow of the water.
Tessa enjoyed boogie boarding too. It was such a fun trip!!!
