I grew up in VB and was excited to see this! Virginia Beach makes its money in the summer. It’s actually the most profitable area in the entire state just from it’s summer season. Because of that all the business can survive on the few people during off season since it makes so much money in the summer. It’s one of the most visited/ biggest beaches on the east coast. Since you came on the off season, most of the people you saw were probably locals.

[@milenajaramillo7233]

Got my cup on coffee, a blueberry muffin and kaylas video life is good 😌

[@simplymebykas]

Looks like such a lovely getaway! Small compliments to do with our kids from others, let alone strangers, is such a reward for us isn't it!

[@savanahswafford9027]

I love getting compliments about being a mother since I’m a young mom and some other moms thank me for actually taking the challenge of being a mom at such a young and I feel like crying when they say that because it means so much

[@catalinawoody6954]

Traveling and getting your kids out is the best thing for them.

[@beebee7538]

Kids are so funny. When you said she was so interactive with the waitress Brittany. Lol 😂 what a sweetheart.

[@hongjoongsbutterfly]

I've lived here since 2009 now and as the other comments say, the tourism is mostly during the summer months. The hotels and some other places are open during the rest of the year but 99% of the shops on the boardwalk and immediate beach area are closed until around April. They open up and start to get busier during spring break. I hope you enjoyed it anyways!

[@FeistySquirrel88]

Jackson’s clapping and dancing was so cute

[@jennalee2274]

Jackson’s face in the aquarium photo literally killed me 😂

[@AmberRaeschelle]

Awe omg this is my hometown! I'm glad you guys came and hope you liked it! I just took my baby to the aquarium two days ago

[@exzid]

My dad grew up in Norfolk and I love coming here sure it’s only been one time but I’m going this summer and cantwait!

[@alyssadixon7784]

Jackson’s facial expressions at the aquarium are to funny it looks so unimpressed! 😂😂😂

[@faythguzman4486]

Please please consider filming a video on what credit card you use daily to accumulate points to redeem for hotels like this, as well as tips for saving for vacations like this. I think it would be very helpful for us mamas. Thank you!

[@savanahswafford9027]

That oh yeah I’ll nap with you was so cute🥺

[@phokhamsengdy4814]

Seriously i can't never watch this video straight from beginning t9 end without someone needing me and i don't want to wait till midnight to watch LOL im just that excited for your trip!!!

[@kveroni]

Great that you got to have a little weekend getaway. You 4 are such a cute family! 😘 I was just thinking why we should feel bad, when our kids are not behaving perfectly?! Kids at this age cannot fully control their feelings and they do have their moments. No judgments from outsiders are welcome in those difficult situations.

[@ishikap632]

boardwalk is usually ghost town during this time and weather then it gets packed in the summer

[@lesley-sheena68]

Thank you for always keeping it real in your videos - I really like that about your content.

[@christyhenley8122]

Looks like yall had a blast. Girl I swear the older jackson gets he favors your mom and dad. Hes a cutie and riley , she is to smart and so precious. I cant get over how smart she is. Live your jean jacket jackson you definitely rock it you gorgeous baby boy.

[@susalkasarahi]

You did more over the weekend than I have in the two years since we've been stationed here LOL

[@shimmering2light]

This was so fun to watch, I had to watch it twice. We’re planning a trip there this summer and it was great to see what there’s to do. Sorry about Jackson’s sleeping (worst fear for me) but looks like you guys still had lots of fun!

[@theeverydayhomebymai]

I love watching your videos so much. Thank you for sharing these moments with us

[@MattiesonParker]

I used to live in Virginia Beach and Virginia for most of my life and you have literally visited every place that I loved as a kid!!! I lived down the road from the Aquarium and it was so cool to see the sea lions as a kid!!

[@williamfunggoldenoldiesfan6758]

I heard that Vancouver, Canada is one of the most beautiful places in North America, I went there once when I was little and it was fun!

[@stephh.8706]

I grew up in VB i miss it so much

[@yvettecontreras1718]

My baby boy is crazy and will throw fits at home but as soon as he's out in public he is an angel!

[@tiffanygreen4524]

Looks like Riley is having the best time of her life awwww so glad you guys got to get away great video ❤️

[@chrissypacheco9635]

The kids looked like they enjoyed the trip.

[@Alyssas15165]

Awesome vlog! Glad everyone had a fun time😊😊😊

[@keshiamontgomery1069]

Kayla you’re doing an amazing job! I love your videos the kids are so adorable and getting so big! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! ❤️

[@jassamaynawes7270]

I used to live in Vancouver WA and that's how all of the beaches are there, it never gets over 65. Always super windy and cold 🥶

[@mombetweentwo7679]

Awesome video I’m glad you guys had fun! I always overpack when the weather is still cold , better than underdressing.

[@YouTubeeeeeewil]

Looks so much fun! Kayla you have beautiful babies❤️

[@shadow-ik2uj]

Omg yass i was waiting for this❤

[@ocdmomma4751]

Love getting the notification that you have a new video up. Makes my day

[@sylviainfante4360]

Thanks for sharing loved it! Looked like fun! Great memories ♥️

[@thaliajarzagaray5821]

Hi Kayla! I always say I'm going to leave a comment, but never do. I'm a 24 year old mother to a 15 month old from the small island of Aruba. I've been watching EVERY SINGLE VIDEO of yours for about 7/8 months now

[@cinland86]

Love your videos Kayla!!!!

[@MattiesonParker]

I absolutely loved the Virginia Beach boardwalk!! I used to go there nearly every weekend when we lived there with my Aunt!!!!

[@austinmerrifield9836]

Such a cute vlog, what a great trip ♥

[@LaceyLam89]

Thats soo sweet, Riley being nice to the waitress and wanting her to come sit with you guys. Glad the kids were so well behaved so you and Joe could enjoy your meal peacefully. 🙏🏽 just wanna tell you your an awsome mom Kayla, and im grateful for someone to get tips and ideas from for my 4 month old whos getting fussy due to teething, its been a big help to watch your channel. Btw..any tips for my daughter who is teething? Ive done Tylenol here n there but im sorta scared to give it to her too often..

[@darrady8224]

So nostalgic for me! Lived in VA for a little over 2 years thanks to military, I definitely miss it😭😭

[@maribelguzman5896]

My daughters sleep was like Jackson’s when she began teething. I think you just need to be patient. My daughter is two and still teething some days she sleeps through the night others she wakes up.

[@sweetbunny4708]

OMG Jacksons face at 34.35 😂I panic every time my baby girl does that

[@sierraisdope527]

I’ve been subscribed for a while and I live in VB! So cool to see this on my feed ❤️❤️

[@jenniferhodgkinson2429]

Jacksons faces are so funny what a cutie 💓

[@kathrynswan6423]

Have you heard of the slumber pod? It’s a black out tent that goes over the pack n play. I swear it is a game changer for sleep away from home! Love VA beach, I went to college in Norfolk so we always hung out there!

[@private5228]

We had the same experience about at that age and a different sleeping situation

[@julianestrau756]

Hello Kayla, i have a 1 year old son and i Work in a Kindergarten in Germany. if some kids are about to learn how to Walk free and stand by themself they are exactly like Jackson just now. They cry very often during the day and the sleep can be terrible as well. But as soon as this milestone is done it will all go back to normal by itself. Sorry for my Englisch. Love your Videos and your sweet Family.

[@mommyjaslynn]

Aw so much fun

[@gennyuk246]

I'm with you there on the not sleeping. my 13 month old is up every hour or so for the passed 2 weeks so I'm literally the living dead atm 😩 That looked like a wonderful family trip. I can't wait to do something similar when things start opening back up here in the UK🇬🇧 xx

[@4kDRIVETOUR]

Nice video I'm planning on going to va beach when I can get some time off from work.

[@Alicelevi0sa]

I bought the same pack n play for my 17 month old girl lol! Sadly she never sleeps In it but if I get luckily and isn’t upset, she can entertain herself In it with her toys! Aquarium looks fun! I need to take my kids to one!

[@selumaethiopia7756]

Good to see u all out and enjoying life. So how did the kids sleeping arrangements works. Where Raley sleeps?? Me and my family also planning to go to Vegas husband work trip and was waiting for ur video. It really helped dear. Tnx.....was watch and feeding my one year old at the same time. 🙂 have a blessed day ya

[@jadeh3729]

Oh my goodness Riley is such a cutie! Jackson is getting such a big boy now 😊

[@joanatinoco1669]

Awwww I’m Glad you guys had a great time... Riley is so cute with the waitress lol, we were suppose to go to North Carolina next week but had to cancel due to the tornado watch and it looks like it will be raining a lot. What hotel did you stay in? We need a kitchen as we are traveling with our toddler. By the way you have encouraged me to go and eat out again, I miss dining out so much. Also what restaurants did you go to?

[@quietaqua4797]

Hampton roads is my home and I'm missing it right now! 😩

[@SarahMc585]

I’m so jealous 😂 We’re on ATLANTIC Canada right now and girl, it’s cold... p.s as long as YOURE being safe and using masks, washing hands sticking to your bubble blah blah blah then GOOD FOR YOU getting away 😊

[@birdgirl2289]

I used to play restaurant with my kids - sometimes they were the waiters and they served me block soup or whatever and sometimes I was the waiter and I would make up little menus so they could order their actual lunch from me. I bet Riley would love to be the waitress!

[@aperson2896]

What hotel did you stay at since I plan on going next week and the room looks good 👍

[@sapphire965]

Kayla what kind of double stroller do you have? I have an 11 month old son and another baby on the way in JUNE! :) We love watching your videos, thank you for sharing with us!

[@christinat4689]

I feel you Jackson , I can’t sleep in a hotel either. Doesn’t matter how tired or comfortable I am. I guess a new bed and environment freaks me out.

[@wandavalachovic1594]

In commenting to Riley’s eating habits. Dr Phil last week told parents, if you don’t continue to yield to her habits, take it away and she will eventually eat what you give her. I totally agree.

[@ErinBlake]

Omg y’all are just like my boyfriend and I on vacation. He wants to be lazy and I want to explore everything!

[@eeshanarub]

Kids are so funny:) which hotel did u stay at?

[@andreathompson4425]

Where are your sunglasses from?

[@jenniferhodgkinson2429]

How do you get Jackson to brush his teeth my baby hates it and pushes his brush away

[@BlessedBlended]

Where did you stay? We are looking to visit family in VA Beach looking for places to stay.

[@thebrittbratt4641]

Tryna spot myself in the background 😂😂

[@ashleyfedale8827]

What double stroller do you have?! Do you like it?

[@exzid]

What hotel is that? It is so nice looking

[@austineatzazz]

Va Beach🌊

[@annettefolco3647]

Which hotel did you stay at?

[@dolphynlvr4]

Looks like a pretty fun trip! Sorry you guys didn’t sleep much though. I’m guessing Jackson is either going through a sleep regression or he might just be more aware of his surroundings now that he is a little older, so when he wakes up in the middle of the night he knows he’s not at home. Either way I hope he slept better for you once you got home.

[@deedeeandmimi6029]

What hotel was this?

[@mayalin98]

how did you explain the masks and wearing them to riley?

[@meganc3090]

Lol any time ive gone to Virginia beach, its always gloomy and never busy.

[@aparnachoudhury6370]

Kindly help me out with the name of the second restaurant in this video

[@unclescottie2hottie192]

I forgot to mention the activities for the kids. At Uncle Scottie's Heavenly Acres, we love the kids. We provide activities and games like: Shut the HELL up, Be quiet, and a oldie but goodie Because I said so. The kids at Heavenly Acres are well manned because corporal punishment is free, free, FREE. So, come visit Heavenly Acres. We got cha.

[@kma1411]

You are so lucky you don't need to wear masks and you can travel :) beautiful color on your nails.

[@jasropergoins2468]

How do you cope with the possibility of the kids crying in public? I realize I don't go many places now (library, Target, etc) with my 14 month old because I'm afraid of the judgment of him crying.

[@anniegoodwin2412]

Not Kayla, but I just wanted to remind you mama that kids will cry and everybody should know that.. that's what kids do. If it's at a restaurant, please don't feel shamed to not bring out a tablet or a simple activity for him to do. If you're walking around somewhere, try to distract him by making him look at everything around him. Possibly give him snacks too if you can. Do your best, and don't worry too much about everyone else! That's your baby boy and you are showing/teaching him about the world. Have all the fun and enjoy every minute of it. 💞

[@jasropergoins2468]

@@anniegoodwin2412 thank you so much! I took my son to the library yesterday because I realize how much my anxiety was stopping me from being the Mom that I want to be to him. Like you said, babies cry. A friend of mine reminded me to that he's seeing things for the first time, and I don't want to stifle his growth and his experiences all because of my anxiety. I'm not going to be afraid to take up space in this world. Thank you for the tips and suggestions, and taking the time out to respond to help me and my son. I'll always keep puffs on hand :)

[@acdstcks205]

I love you all so much, please do not use your phone while driving.

[@lourddes6341]

Is winter time around and rona is around so .... that’s probably why was so dead

[@Shayma-view]

U look so fresh with short hair 💕💕

[@discopumps]

Sorry but you are giving your children very bad eating habits! If you let them constantly watch screens while eating and only give them junk food how do you expect they learn to eat new/healthy food! If Riley likes crunchy food she should try carrots? Hummus?!

[@anniegoodwin2412]

Don't you think she's tried that?? Obviously, you haven't watched all her other videos because she has touched base on this NUMEROUS times, hun. You can't force a THREE year old to eat something they don't like. Would you like that done to you? She tries, but at the end of the day, fed is best. I would love for you to come tell this to my 3 year old son so I can watch him laugh in your face. I'm assuming you're one of those who gives serious back lash if a kid doesn't eat how YOU want them to eat? Or maybe that makes them sit at the table until ALL their food is gone? Also, did you not see in the beginning where Riley didn't want her tablet? Please remember, as a parent, we are doing our best and sometimes that means being considerate of those around us with our children. Because we all know how they can get, or at least I thought we did. My suggestion is to try getting familiar with her content before commenting, because this is one of her biggest stressors with Riley.

[@discopumps]

@@anniegoodwin2412 give a kid a choice between a cookie and broccoli, of course they would choose the cookie, if you let them pick their own meals of course they’re going to end up eating crackers, donuts, cookies and junk all day. That’s all I meant. We never forced my daughter to eat her veggies but if she cleans her plate she gets a treat after, she knows if she doesn’t finish, she won’t get the treat (dessert). That’s worked really well for her and she will happily eat broccoli. We also sit around the table together to eat at least once a day. Don’t mean to be rude and I know we’re all trying our best as parents but I just don’t think these food practices with young kids (parking them in front of screens and making them eat alone) are anything to write home about!

[@anniegoodwin2412]

@@discopumps no I understood what you meant. I just don't understand what you think the solution would be? I've tried to force my kid to eat a food numerous ways and even spoon shoving it in his mouth and he threw up. In the end, there was no effective way to do it. He just didn't like the food choice. He's extremely picky, just like Riley. That's why we are big advocates on vitamins and pediasures
