Virginia Beach, doesn't it just sound like a great place? Well it is. I have been to Virginia Beach before because I have a lot of family that live there however this was a long time ago. Our whole plan for out time in Virginia Beach was to relax on a beach and not have to explore anything, after the amount of traveling we had done a break was needed. From the very moment we drove into my uncles estate we knew that this was going to be a good destination, it was so tranquil, peaceful and sunny! We arrived pretty late in the afternoon so we decided to just relax and I wanted to catch up with my family and boy did I know I was with family because the first thing my uncle wanted to do was show me his new house that is right on the beach, which by the way is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen. Then after seeing a bit of VB we headed home to see my auntie and out came the Chivas Regal, not long after that we headed down to a nice Indian restaurant and had a few more drinks. It was a great evening being around family and just reminiscing about old times.
The following morning we actually got to sleep in a bit because we knew all we were doing was sleeping on the beach. For this first time on this trip we got to have a real breakfast, Indian style with aloo parntha! I don't remember the last time I had this, seeing as my dad used to cook it every weekend it was a lovely treat. Seeing as we were full from breakfast we just decided to head straight to the beach and chill, so we did, we chilled on the beach all day and it was perfect. There was a nice breeze and the heat was great, the sea was very cool and not to cold to swim around in. Now the highlight of this day was when Audrey Battah showed up! I have not seen Audrey in almost 2 years and it was great seeing her, even though she did make us walk like 12 blocks to Planet Pizza which turned out to be 30 blocks away from where we were so we bailed on that idea and just had mexican. Now I know I had a great day because when we were eating our food we saw a message on the TV about a flash flood that was about to happen and I didn't even care.. We walked back towards our cars and the storm started, you could see the lightening for miles and we somehow didn't run into any rain until we were only a block away from the car park. However that one block of rain literally was like a shower but we all laughed and didn't even care! After getting back to my uncles house we cooked goat for 2 hours, just like old times. A great end to a great time in VB.
I really wish we didn't have to leave Virginia Beach, it was great being with family and it truly inspired me again. Now the long road to Orlando begins.
