Memorial Weekend Recap

Wednesday, June 2, 2010


We had a busy, fun-filled holiday weekend. Having Daddy back in town has been so great and we were determined to make the most of it. I think we succeeded!

We visited Colonial Williamsburg for a walk through history. We fed a horse, chatted with some sheep, toured the gaol (local jail), had a picnic and wore out our walking shoes.

We also visited the Virginia War Museum, which was a first for us. I was so impressed with not only the amount of memoribilia they have on display, but also the quality of the exhibits.

Unfortunately they don't allow much photography inside the museum, but the kids thought the tanks parked outside were totally cool.


We also did a little of this:

Sounds like a fantastic day. I would love to take my kids to Colonial Williamsburg. I got to see that place when I was in 8th grade and have so many memories of it.

I've never been to Williamsburg. I should go once I move to NC. It's closer then!

We did a lot of the last two pics, lol. But other than yard work and opening our pool? Not much, lol.

I SO want to go back to Willamsburg! I haven't been there since I was in High School.
