Late in the summer, Lyla got the opportunity to head to the beach with the Williams family for the week, so I took a couple days off and Nina, her friend, and I left on a mini girls trip. We drove down to Hartfield first, arriving in time to spend a nice afternoon/evening enjoying the river. Then we left early the next morning for Virginia Beach.
It was a little cloudy as we first arrived at the beach, so after heading down to the beach for a bit, a quick rain storm blew through, but thankfully the rain coincided with a good time to get lunch, so we grabbed some lunch, settled into our hotel, then we were ready to spend the rest of the day on the beach.
We caught sight of a rainbow from our balcony right as the rain ended, then as we headed back out to the beach, we discovered that a few streets down on the beach was the National Lifeguard Championship games, so we were entertained for awhile watching lifeguards from all over the country compete in various challenges and races.
Later that evening, after showers and dinner, we headed out to the boardwalk for walking, ice cream, and some pretty skies.
The next day was all sunshine and the girls enjoyed the time at the beach and in the waves.
Before we left, we made a stop off at a cute shop for acai bowls (which ended up being more cute than super tasty), but I did appreciate their mural. :)
After our two days in Virginia Beach, we headed back to Hartfield then Nina and Anika went to Water Country, USA for the day. I killed the time hanging in historic Yorktown while they were at Water Country, then we returned that evening to Hartfield in time to catch another beautiful sunset out on the kayak/paddleboards.
We packed up to head home the next day and got back just a little before Lyla got home as well. I was glad that both girls had a last bit of fun before the summer was over, and I really enjoyed getting to do a fun girls trip with Nina and her friend.
