Chad's 20 year High School Reunion

We arrived in Hampton, VA on Friday afternoon, checked into the hotel, and made our way over to Heath & Michele's house. They had invited some friends over for dinner and time to catch up and hangout. The girls met their boys and hit it off right away. The night was relaxing and fun. A great way to slowly transition into the vacation ahead.

Saturday morning Chad took us on a tour of his old stomping grounds. We saw the house he lived in, two places he worked at, his high school, the city of Hampton, and we visited Buckrowe Beach. The girls were excited to see the "water" and it was such a different experience for them to see ships all around. The hotel we stayed at was right on the Marina so there were boats right outside our window.

That afternoon, the girls and I visited some downtown Hampton sights while Chad went to the airport to pick up my dad and stepmom. They were nice enough to join us on this vacation and were there in time to babysit the girls so we could go enjoy Chad's reunion. Once they all arrived at the hotel, Chad and I had a chance to visit with his friends and get ready for the evening.

The reunion was at the hotel we were staying at, so no worries about having to travel to a different location. Dinner, music, dancing, drinks, pictures, visiting, and reminiscing about the old days. When that was finished we ventured out to the neighborhood bars and found more old classmates. We called it a night around midnight and enjoyed the peace and quiet of our hotel room. The girls were sleeping in with Papa & Grandma.
