I'm so sorry it took me so long to make this post about our weekend in Chesapeake and Peanut's Flower Girl venture...it's been a bit busy on the home front as well as me nursing a pretty bad burn on my back. All in all it was nice to get out of town for a bit and escape the craziness of the week before.
Our first stop after our 4 hour car trip was to Virginia Beach. We had to kill some time before we could check in to the hotel so we knew the kids would enjoy cooling off in the water a bit. This beach was not like the one I am used to in Wilmington and was way too sandy for my liking, but the kids enjoyed it so it made all the sand (that I'm still washing out of clothes, hair, ears, etc) all worth it.
After about an hour of the hot sun and surf we decided to make our way to the hotel and see if we could get an early check-in since we still had a rehearsal dinner to attend and we were in serious need of a nap. I was pleasantly surprised to see that our hotel was right next door to the Dollar Tree factory....it's one of my favorite stores when it comes to home organization....man, I'd love to take a tour of that place ( & some inventory!).
We stayed at the Hyatt and our room was AMAZING, probably one of my favorite hotel rooms of all time...and we have stayed in many. I was a little sad we would only be staying one night here, but we will definitely be keeping this hotel in mind for future reference. This room was any parents dream who is traveling with kids...without a doubt ♥
The Rehearsal dinner was lovely and it was so great to see my friend from back home and honored that Peanut was able to be apart of her wedding. Some might find it odd that I went considering she was one of my brother's ex girlfriends, but she was like a little sister to me and so helpful when the twins were born, I couldn't say no. Peanut was given the most adorable bracelet with her name on it as her flower girl gift and has yet to take it off. I think she will keep it on until she grows out of it :)
