Our Vacation - Day 1...Sunday, August 2nd

Yay! Let our vacation begin. We woke the girls up at 3:30 am to begin our travels to Williamsburg, Virginia! As you can see, the girls slept in their clothes to make life just a little bit easier! I loved the fact that at 3:30 am, we still see smiles!



As we loaded in the car, it was about 4am. Mackie and Kaylee rode in the first row...and Gia...



Sat alone in the back row. (With her own tv, of course!)



We met up with Nicki and Steve at WaWa. I couldn't resist getting a shot of her car load before we started the long ride!





Mackie lasted until about Glassboro, before she asked the infamous question, "Are we almost there yet?" Ughh....



Mom and Dad were first to arrive in Virginia and we too made excellent time, arriving in about 5 hours. We couldn't go to the rooms because they weren't ready yet, so we went out to breakfast.



Here's the whole gang!



After breakfast, the kids changed in the club house, and off to the pool they went!








Unfortunately, it started to pour! But that didn't seem to bother the kiddies, just us cranky adults who desperately wanted to settle in our rooms!





Finally, at about 2:30pm, we got the "go ahead" to unload into our places. My Dad has two units that were on the first floor, seperated by a door. Each unit is huge- with full kitchen, family room, 2 bathrooms, and 2 bedrooms and a laundry room. Nicki's family took one unit, and my family and parents took the other. It was really conveniently close to the clubhouse/pool!


Once we were settled, the boys went grocery shopping. We ended the night ordering pizza and playing poker. Mackie was sent to the room for a two minute time-out, and this is what I went in to at about 7:30pm. She was exhausted!!
