Hotel Reservation In Virginia Beach

"We didn't have a family vacation this year, did we?" Jeff asked me recently."Well, no, I guess we didn't," was my reply after I thought for a moment.  The way years run together, I wasn't quite sure at first; but no, I don't believe 2011 held a specific family vacation for us.  Lots of fun, memory-making family times?  Yes.  A "real" family vacation?  

Not that every year has to have a family vacation.  What a luxury to even be able to have one every few years...and what a spoiled "first-world" attitude to think that a year is incomplete without one!Regardless, a few days ago, Jeff and I decided to try to pull off something that we've been thinking about for a while:  take the boys to Virginia Beach for an overnight trip, and--best of all--do it as a complete surprise. 

Friday night found me pulling out a suitcase and surreptitiously putting clothing in it while the boys were downstairs listening to Jeff read our nightly chapter from Tabitha's Travels.  Saturday was full of more furtive activity on my part, as I did all I could to ready our family for take-off, just as soon as Jeff got home from work.  I was surprised at how little my boys noticed my unusual activity.  Even when David discovered me mixing up a thermos of Quick Refresher in the kitchen Saturday afternoon, all he asked was, "Is that Quick Refresher?  Yum!"  But he didn't press further to learn why I was making a thermos of it, and not a pitcher, my usual modus operandi when we're at home.It wasn't until we got in the car, and the boys spotted a suitcase, playpen, and various other paraphernalia that the questions and suspicions arose.  Wanna see how they responded to the news that our destination was Virginia Beach?
