Our trip to Virginia

While we were in Virginia we had a huge list of things to do- people to visit, places to see, and places to eat! Oddly enough, Texas just doesn't have good mexican food. Lots of Texmex, but it is really hard to just find a good mexican place. We went to 2 of our favorites while we were there- yummmy! We also can not find any good chinese out here. Well, there is a good buffet but it just isn't the same as a hole in the wall take out place. Plus nobody does Eggfooyung gravy the way they do in Virginia...So we got some takeout while we were there. I could eat that stuff every day! Paradox is another great place. Love their crabcake sandwich and normally I do not eat seafood but those sandwiches are so good. And the kids get their meals served on a frisby!

The hotel we stayed at was pretty neat. Not a typical hotel- it was a loft style room. They gave us an inflateable bed for the kids to use which they thought was fun, and they had the nicest shower- it was HUGE! They also had the coolest elevators ever. They had these blue pads that had squishy liquid so you can step on it and make it move around on your way up or down. That could provide hours of entertainment right there! oh yea- another favorite was Ritas Italian Ice. Why there aren't more of these I don't know but I was so happy to be able to go there again before we came back home!
