Well, we made it here. We got to OBX at about 12:00 noon today. The house wasn't ready until 4PM though so we did a lot of waiting in the car. But around 4pm it was time, we lowered the air pressure in the Jeep, and drove 8 miles down the beach in the newly lifted Jeep of ours :) About 2 miles into the drive, Robyn and I actually opened the flip back sun rider top that covers just the front passengers. This let her stand up and get some video. Pics will follow shortly, but video's will probably have to wait.
Seems like Corova doesn't have much for wifi access. I'm on right now with a Bluetooth connection to my cell phone :)
Williamsburg was fun, we got there around 2PM on Thursday, and checked into our Hotel at 3PM. Sadly Robyn felt horribly and I felt it was best to stay in and let her rest while I tried to keep the kids occupied. We did have dinner at Ruby Tuesdays
Friday got better, but I was in a cranky mood after Caleb haven driven me crazy. We did later in the day drop $50 in tickets at the Go Kart Plus center. Caleb and I drove together in GoKarts on their Figure Eight track and the Euro track. On the Euro track it was the two of us in one car, and a 12 maybe 13 year old boy and his younger sister in another car. He learned quickly not to take the corners too wide as I got in front of him :) When it came time to lap them though, he cut me off quick and I rammed into the back of them, on accident :) Luckily we didn't get thrown out. Robyn follwed us up with her own GoKart ride with Caleb while I snapped pics and took video.
They had this really cool pool with bumper boats too where you could also shoot water at other bumper boats. Caleb love it, with the exception thathe couldn't drive the boat. We even managed to soak Alec who was sitting with Mommy outside of the pool area. We also got to watch as Momma kicked daddy's ass once again in Putt Putt Golf. I truly suck at Putt Putt Golf, lost by 5 shots, sigh. Caleb as always did very well.
We went to one of my favorite restaurants in that area, 2nd street. I should of gotten directions as we drove around for nearly 2 hours getting lost, even more lost, and then the Ultimate Lost. We did manage to find a cool Patrol Road that sounds like it used to be used by the military, a couple of big lakes/resevoirs, and a close hand look/inspection of the gate of the local Naval Weapons Station. The civil's who now guard it were not very happy to see me lol :)
We eventually got to 2nd Street and enjoyed a great dinner. At one point I went to clean up after Alec who decided to feed the imaginary dog on the floor. I hear someone yell "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" It was out waitress who couldn't believe I was cleaning up Alec's mess. "Your on vacation, you shouldn't be cleaning up". I guess she got a kick telling her friends that a customer of hers cleaned up after his son's mess, and then left her a 33% tip lol. (Robyn's fault, I was gonna leave $13 which was 20% and Robyn said give her 20, so I figured $20)
So we got home, got the kids to bed, went to sleep, got up at 7am and headed toward OBX where we are now.
Water is warm, food is good, horse poop everywhere so we are looking for the Wild Horses.
More to come!
