After so much fun in the Williamsburg area, we were a little reluctant to pull our chocks and move to the next location. But we were also ready to feel some sand between our toes. So we packed up everything, hooked up the Jeep, and commuted about an hour away to the Sea Mist Campground at NAS Oceana. We had scouted this campground Christmas of 2018 while visiting my family. And once we arrived I was so glad we were camping there. It is a small campground, but it was a two minute walk to the beach, which was dog friendly! We passed a blissful two weeks here, visiting family and friends. We also did some of the touristy things I try to avoid. Oh, and we spent a day with the stomach flu. I mean, everyday can't be sunshine and roses, can it? Since this was the longest stretch of our trip and a lot of the days were the same (breakfast, beach, lunch, nap, beach, dinner) I'm going to tell the story mostly through photos. Enjoy the first half! Unlike Cheattham Annex, NAS Oceana is an active base, with lots of activity. Some days the beach was closed for training activities, some of which were camper-shakingly loud! And several times a day, we saw cadres of Sailors and Marines marching along. This was really neat for the kids to see. That's the first half of our stay in Virginia Beach. What can I say? The Schneiders are beach people. We like feel the sun on our well-sunscreened legs, and the sand between our toes.
