The kids really took to the ocean this year. There was no hesitation – they jumped right into the waves.<\/p>\n

Parker had his ducky floaty and Skylar would swim and bob up and down until she got tired, and then hang off of daddy.<\/p>\n

We spent 3 days at Va Beach, and then we spent a couple days at the ‘local’ beaches: ocean view beach, and Buckroe beach. Neither of the local beaches had waves like va beach, but it was interesting to see the locals and the non-touristy parts of Norfolk.<\/p>\n

Two restaurants that we went to were memoriable: Hair of the dog – great drinks, and “The Barking Dog” – a hole in the wall with awesome Carolina BBQ, $2 craft beer served in a coozie, nacho fries, and awesome hot dogs with all kinds of toppings – right at a Marina.<\/p>\n
