VA: Day 3

Today we had to fit a lot into our last day in Virginia with Auntie Jen. It was the warmest day of the week so we had to do all the warm weather activities!

The day started with an exciting milestone for BabySlimJim (which he has been doing for over a week, just not when I've been watching)!

Then an exciting trip to the Home Store for me (like Home Goods on crack)!

Our favorite Virginia Playground came next- it was fantastic weather for it.

Then off to the beach. MiniM.E. thought she might swim but the breeze off the beach made it WAY too cold. So it was seagull feeding and shell finding instead.

After a dinner out, we headed to the Botanical Gardens for Lantern Asia- an amazing display of lanterns along the paths. Even though the girls were tired, we all enjoyed seeing them. It was definitely worth stay up until dark for!

We have had a great vacation! Disappointed that we have to head back tomorrow... 

VA: Day 2

Today our big trip was to the Living Museum. It came highly recommended and we needed a change from our yearly zoo trip. While we were hoping for spring weather here, it didn't feel much like spring today. Pretty chilly and breezy. While the outside animal enclosures didn't last long for the girls because of the weather, everyone enjoyed all the inside activities the museum had to offer.

VA: Day 1

One of the girls' favorite parts of visiting Auntie Jen is going to Petco since she can take out all the animals for us to see. We certainly were not disappointed.

In the afternoon, we decided to check out the Air & Space Musuem.

The astronaut pretend play area was so much fun.

 

And I think the girls could have spent all day pretending to be flight attendants on a real plane. 

Plus there were paper airplanes to fly, and IMAX show to see and lots of other cool exhibits.
