Vacation, part one

We got back from Virginia late last night, just before midnight. So many stories to tell, so little time..... Here's a few photos to get me started.


A look at our condo:

King's Creek Plantation looked straight out of Wisteria Lane--mucho picturesque



Winner of the funniest face photo:



We went to the Virginia Aquarium in Virginia Beach. Here Josh and Dave are looking at a model of a sea turtle.


A family photo! One of 2 from our whole trip. This one is from our journey to Jamestown, the sight of where Captain John Smith landed in America back in 1607. They put up a monument and that is behind us. Back in high school when you're forced to learn history, I was not interested. I was a wonderful student in most every other subject but I just could not get into history. As I get older, I appreciate it much more and I learned so much from our trip to Jamestown. I hope we can teach Josh to learn history at a younger age. If he has Dave's interest in history, he'll be much better off!


This one is from "Jamestown settlement" which is a colonial reconstruction, where they demonstrate how colonial life was like back in the day. The coolest thing was finding "Godspeed" a boat which was made in Rockport, Maine. More to come on this....




I have lots of other photos to share, stay tuned!
