Virgina Part 4

This first photo shows the way we walked everywhere. And we walked a lot!  Wells loved it because he didn't have to walk and Chandler loved it because he loved his brother holding him. He got quite a few stares and a lot of smiles and a few "awwwww. That's so cute!"

We had the opportunity to tour through the U.S. Navel Hospital Ship.  The Comfort.  It had everything a hospital would and even a dental unit (which I found really interesting).  The actual tour was very long and for a four year old and a one year old it was very boring. Let's just say we were all glad when it was over.  Although if we didn't have the kids I'm sure it would have been very interesting.

This was our tour guide.  He gave Wells the sticker he's holding and Wells just thought it was the coolest thing EVER!
One of the days Wade was really busy preparing for his keynote speech and he needed some time alone to prepare.  So I took the kids to a Children's museum in Portsmouth.  It think it was probably the first time that I've driven myself somewhere other than Utah.  I was a bit scared but I did not want to sit in the hotel room all afternoon.  Anyway the next pictures are of the cool museum.

Virgina part 3 (day at the beach)


Wade had an afternoon off and we decided to go to the beach. We talked to some of the locals and found a nice quiet beach. This was by far my favorite thing we did the entire trip. It was so fun to have just our little family together and bond. Oh and a little side note... I forgot my swim suit so we had to stop at Walmart and find one... Let me just tell you that shopping for a swim suit is a woman's worst nightmare. Now add on a little more stress because I had to find one from Walmart (not that there's anything wrong with Walmart but they don't have the best selection of swim suits). Now tack on some more stress because you have three boys staring at you wondering why you haven't chosen a suit in 4.5 minutes. Plus I didn't have time to try any of them on, plus we were trying to save money... I was a hot mess by the time we walked out of there. 


Chandler was so happy until the water touched him. 






Chandler was all tuckered out, so he took a little snooze in the shade
