A Fashionistas Getaway Pt. 2

Today was the day that I finally had to say goodbye to the beach and my family and head back home. I was soo not ready, I needed another week before coming home from vacation. I must say though, I enjoyed myself. Today was the last day of the reunion and we had a family cookout where we got to mingle for the last time before we all went our separate ways.

We had our cookout at a really nice park called Mt. Trashmore (which has a pretty cool history behind it, look it up!) It was beautiful! There was a path that went around the entire hill that people could walk or run on. There were so many people out exercising. Plus they have a huge playground for all the kids to play on. On the top of the hill was a bunch of kids flying kites, it was so cute. But anyways it was a lot of fun. The only thing was that I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted to, but that's okay. =)


Now let me just add on, that I am not much of a nature girl, lol. We were outside at this park for about six hours which happened to be a little too much for me. I spent my six hours, screaming, running from giant wasps and dragon flies and swatting at flies. I swear it was enough to make me go crazy. I hate bugs, lol! However, it was really nice to be outdoors and just enjoy the fresh air. I can't wait to go back!

A Fashionista's Getaway

Hello, Hello! I am yet again on another vacation. I'm here in Virginia Beach, Virginia for a second family reunion which I must say that I am enjoying. We arrived at our hotel room at about 12 noon, unpacked, relaxed and got ready for our first family dinner together.

I sat outside on the balcony, pulled out my laptop and ofcourse had to update my facebook and twitter. I also had to upload a few pics that I took on the way here. (Even though I've been here before, I just love taking pictures!)

Day #2: I hit the beach for a while just to get my feet wet and soak up a little bit of sun (which i don't need, lol) Even though when I left the beach I discovered that I had a slight tan :(

(Above) Me sitting in the lounge after having a good time down at the beach. Had to head inside early because it was just a tad-bit too hot outside for me so I just waited until later when the sun went down a little.

I was going to try and do a video but I didn't have much time. So I will try and take more pics later today when we head to the cookout :0)

Xoxo,
