Easter Weekend

WOW! April has seriously flown by... perhaps that is because I only went to school three days this month! We have been so lucky to travel and see family and now we have a little over a month until it's the best time of the year... SUMMER! We drove down to Virginia Beach for Easter weekend to spend time with Jake's sister Kylie and her family. We had a lot of fun Friday playing at the park, decorating easter cookies and going to a battleship museum. My favorite part of the musuem was petting sharks, crabs, and sting rays, it was so much fun! This was Jake's highlight of the trip... picking that lady's wedgie! He posed several times behind her so he could get a good picture with her!

And below is my favorite picture from the trip!

Saturday morning we drove to the Outer Banks (which is a beach Jake and I have wanted to visit since we were first married and living in Virginia Beach we heard it was the best). It definitely lived up to our expectations the weather was amazing and the beach was so nice. We wish we would have worn our swimming suits but we all ended up getting wet even without them. We went to see a lighthouse and then played on the beach building sand castles and flying kites. It definitely got me excited for warm weather and it better come fast!

The next week I was able to go with the gifted students to New York City. We were constantly on the go trying to see everything in three days. We were totally exhausted but had a great time. Some of my favorites were seeing Mary Poppins, going to the Top of the Rock, touring NBC, finding the Kardashian's store DASH, the wax museum, and of course shopping!
