1. We went to Moe’s on Saturday. Oh. My. Lordy. I hadn’t realized how much I missed Moe’s! For those of you that are deprived indivduals, Moe’s is kinda like Chipotle, or a “subway” of burritos. Fresh salsa and chips are the best! All four of us ate for under $25 and we took a whole box with us when we left. I forsee Moe’s frequently in our future :)
2. YMCA. I have never joined the Y before (and don’t have it available in Jacksonville), but decided to look into it after a recommendation of a friend (thanks Sarah H!). They allowed us to join for just 2 months and waived the registration fee (praise God!). With the membership, we get access to all 16 Hampton Road locations, 2 hrs FREE childcare EVER DAY while I workout, FREE monthly DATE nights (our first is this friday…SO excited :)), access to all their pools and fitness classes, etc. Who knew the Y was so amazing? I’ve already been several times and just love it. I was able to do an hour pool workout for the first time since having kids b/c the pool is right there onsite. Awesome! The girls LOVED playing in the playroom and having time with other kids (something that is lacking up here in va beach).
PS- this is not the Y I go to ;)
3. Trader Joe’s. Goodness gracious. I think I could live in this store. Healthy. Good prices. Good food. Excellent fruit/ meat selection. Who knew you could actually buy organic meat?!?! I had never seen it before here :). With such limited cooking options, TJ has been great at providing healthy convenience foods for us (we had spaghetti with TJ turkey meatballs a couple nights ago :)). Anyone have a favorite item there? I am still overwhelmed at the options!
4. The beach. This is our actual walkway to the beach. Our door is literally 30 feet from here. I KNOW! How amazing is that? We have been trying to go every evening after nap time (3:30-5:30 or so). While we don’t have a backyard/baby pool/bikes, etc…we do have God’s backyard to play in. The girls have especially liked digging for sand fleas/crabs with Daddy. Personally, I’m not a big fan of little slimmy crawly creatures :). 
5. Lynnhaven Mall carousel. We have been here no less then 4 times already! The girls love it! The mall also has an amazing play area and food court. I have yet to “shop”, but it is so nice to have an air-conditioned, free place to go on those extremely hot days.
6. Family time. More then anything, I am so thankful we are able to spend this time with Daddy. The girls have loved seeing him for breakfast, lunch (most days), and dinner! I have too :). Several days he has been able to join us at the beach after work and play with us too! I think we are going to look back on this summer as one of the best ever (despite the challenges!)
