Our Weekend with the Eldreth Crew

Our good friends from Germany, Beth, Bryan and Gabi, moved to D.C. recently and decided to come down to Virginia Beach to spend the weekend with us. They picked a hot weekend to come to the beach, as temperatures were over 100 all weekend. We had a great time hanging out together and although it had been a year since we last saw them, it felt like no time had passed at all. Here is a recap of the weekend:






Friday
Lily waits up super excited to see her buddy Gabi
They arrive at about 8:30 p.m
Hugs, talking, tour of the house
The girls lay in bed together and giggle while reading books
The 4 of us enjoy pizza, wings, wine and catch up




Saturday
Jeff , the girls and I get an early walk/run before the Eldreth family awakes, temperature is already 90 at 8 a.m.
The girls play on the swing set and in the pool
We hit the beach around 1:00 but only stay 2 hours...temps are over 100
Everyone gets red
Jeff works in the afternoon and Lily sleeps 3+ hours (the sun is exhausting)
We enjoy BBQ, drinks and game night with Kim and Larry
Menu: guacamole w/chips, burgers, dogs, 2 pasta salads and blueberry pound cake
Margaritas flowed all night

Still too hot at 9 p.m. to sit outside so we spent the entire evening inside
We laughed uncontrollably playing cranium...the girls won!!

Sunday
Jeff has the entire day off...yay (just studying in the evening)
Jeff makes a large breakfast (blueberry pancakes, eggs and sausage)
We pack up and try out the Waterpark on base
$5.00 for Aeropalms Waterpark...NOT BAD
The girls have a blast and we stay cool, temperature is 100 again today
Jeff and I ride some water slides while Beth and Bryan watch the girls (thanks guys)
We grab some lunch and ice cream on the way home from the Waterpark

Thanks so much for coming to visit this weekend Beth, Bryan and Gabi. We had a blast. We are looking forward to your next visit, 4th of July weekend!
