Virginia Beach

Words can't describe how great we all felt during this vacation! We didn't even do that much! Maybe that's why it was so wonderful. It reminded me of a quote from Elizabeth Gilbert's book Eat Pray Love. 

“Americans have an inability to relax into sheer pleasure.Ours is an entertainment seeking-nation, but not necessarily a pleasure-seeking one....This is the cause of that great sad American stereotype- the overstressed executive who goes on vacation, but who cannot relax.”  

  Always we go on vacation and Do Do Do. We have to set alarm clocks so we can all be up, showered, fed (maybe) and on the road to the next source of amusement. We rarely had days (hours?) to do anything on a whim, without having to check our watches. I'm happy to say, aside from our one scheduled day at the Epilepsy Walk, that we really relaxed this vacation. There was no rush to wake at a certain time because there were so many all day breakfast diners within walking distance. Lunch and dinner were the same way. There was endless entertainment just outside our door. And since that entertainment was the ocean, sandcastles, pools that never closed, walks along the beach, playgrounds or sitting on our balcony enjoying the view...we could do it any time we wanted! It never closed! ♥ 

We love all our vacations. We can't wait for another 'scheduled' vacation. They are filled with as many memories, smiles and laughter as this one. We are just happy to know we CAN do this type of vacation and love it! We hope to take similar trips (probably always to beaches) every year!
