virginia beach love

this city is just unreal... stunning trees, beautiful waterways, and to top it all off an unreal beach! Michael and I have "the list", a collection of **mostly free** fun places/things that we have to do while we are here. a few of the things we have already crossed off of the list are in this post! let me tell you, the more I see of this place, the more I love it! Mt. Trashmore is going to be a staple for us because of it's running path, free workout stations, and a huge hill **used to be a landfill** to train on! it is absolutely breath-taking **literally & figuratively**
our next check-off was finding a good taco shack. well, this place is not really a shack, but it is a whole in the wall AND the fish tacos were amazing!! seriously, if you are in Virginia Beach, you need to stop at Pelon's Baja Grill, and if you don't get their famous fish tacos, you're wrong. Pelon's has a funky feel, an awesome staff, and is super cheap. **not to mention free parking for patrons which is HUGE down on the boardwalk** pinky promise you won't be sorry if you stop here!!
we then took a quick walk to Jody's Popcorn... I don't think you can really go wrong here. they always have those cinnamon-roasted nuts that tantalize you during the holidays, fresh kettle corn, and tons of fudge varieties. **michael's fav = cookie dough fudge, mine = kettle corn. always** luckily Jody's is just a block away from the ocean front where you can sit, listen to live bands on the weekends, people watch, and hang with King Neptune **disclaimer: contrary to popular opinion I am NOT the photographer stationed at King Neptune** also, I just love this picture because of this guy. he has been unreal the past couple of weeks, and I won't go into why right now, but he is seriously the bestest. yes, he is laughing at me in this picture. yes, he thinks I'm ridiculous **or out of control** yes, he stays around anyways. **insert a bunch of heart-eyed emojis here**
