We got Jace excused from school for a week for a very "educational" vacation. Jace and I got to spend some quality time reading about George Washington and the making of this great nation. We are lucky to live a few hours away from these historic sites. Grandpa Steve-o, Grandma Lisa, and Aunt Shanny came up with us.
Every day we walked the trails by our hotel. Jace followed his Poppa everywhere. Jace's favorite thing he did on the trip was hands down "going to watch John Carter with poppa and going to Taco Bell and maybe winning a free Ipad".
Daddy daughter dance at Captain Jorges seafood buffett. We might have eaten here twice in 5 days...
Chad came up for a few days just to golf. My dad tells this story the best...but on one hole, Jace actually out-drove Chad. He will never live that one down.
Pool time at the hotel. Natasha's first swim ever! She loved it ;) and looked hot in her polkadots.
Jamestown- 1st English settlement All I could think about what how I could have NEVER survived back then. Never ever never ever.
I spy one hot soldier
Governor's mansion at historic Williamsburg. Whole town restored to what it looked like in the 1700's. This seems so young compared to what we will see in France this summer. Really beautiful set up though right by the campus of William and Mary.
The town is filled with actors who were in full costume. My dad- "Get me outta here!"
I need me one of these
Playing on the beaches of Yorktown--where the British finally surrendered to the American/french forces under George Washington. So cool to imagine this cove filled with the ships. Highlight of the trip.
Berkley Plantation on the James river. SOOO beautiful. Where the 1st official Thanksgiving took place.
Last day of the trip ended with grandma and grandpa being here for Brenna's bday! She felt so special. Thanks for the fun memories!
