TanFamTrip2016: Day 14

Day 14/July 16th: 330 total miles
109 miles in Virginia
183 miles in North Carolina
38 miles in South Carolina

On Day 14 we woke up at our beach hotel in Norfolk, Virginia. Jared was up early to take some photos of the sunrise.


Everyone else was up pretty early also and were motivated to eat a quick breakfast so we could go play!


In contrast to the evening before, the water was so calm and still, with really no waves at all. 














Zach dug a big hole and put himself in it.

Then Adam helped me bury him.


The girls wanted to get in on the fun. Three children buried in the sand!
Ew-somebody needs a manicure! Ha-Jared found a shell that looked just like a toenail.

We really enjoyed the beach. It was lovely to be out first thing in the morning, and avoid the hot direct sunlight. This is the way to visit the beach!

But...we had to get on the road again, and were checked out of our hotel by 11 a.m. We drove through Virginia. Adam napped for 1.5 hours (hurray-his longest car nap yet!). We got on the I-95 drove through pretty North Carolina. NC does a nice job with roadside flowers.
We stopped at a rest stop mid-way through North Carolina. It was hot! Adam made friends with a dog on a leash, so we held the dog for the owner while he used the restroom.
We reached our hotel in Florence, South Carolina at about 5:30 p.m. We picked up dinner at Zaxby's, then relaxed in the hotel and watched Toy Story 2 on tv until bedtime.
