Just one of many delicious dinners devoured during the week.
A swing set! Oh boy oh boy!
A little tennis on another beautiful day!
Not bad for a quirky ENTP.
And the girls faint.
Playing sharks and minnows.
Brad can never get any privacy.
Looking pretty slick.
Please ignore this random pic of a shirtless Marscel flexing on our bed.
I hate when people take a close-up desaturated facial shot of someone and then slap on their own cheesy logo so no one will steal it even though no one will steal it or even want to steal it. I really hate it when people do that.
We're back in Williamsburg in our normal attire, yet still far from normal.
The nation's oldest college establishment, the Sir Christopher Wren Building, constructed between 1695 and 1699. Talk about gorgeous.
This is so vintage Melissa. She walks upstairs and finds a five dollar bill in a windowsill. Nobody's around. It's hers for the taking.
We signal the world elite.
I like this picture of you, Ma. :-)
Everything back then was to the glory of God. What a testament.
Colonial romance.
Willy was more interested in the fence than the cow.
"No seriously, guys! Don't laugh!"
Our faithful baby carrier.
Not dressed up, but I can still be pompous.
I think we found our logo.
This guy was great. Without looking below, who does he remind you of?
In person, the resemblance was uncanny! Especially at the end of the movie where Lumiere turns human!
Every ENTP volunteers.
A beautiful evening sky.
My love and I.
Whatever man can create ... without compare to the handiwork of the Creator.
The third and final destination of the historic triangle ... Jamestown! Another gorgeous day, and the trees were just so huge and stately. No wonder they first described this area as "paradise".
Original
stone kilns from the 1600s. Instead of moving them, they simply built a view building over them! So amazing. Just the smell ... it all smells 400 years old!
Hate when you're about to take a nice family picture and a pesky foreign exchange students gets in the way. Always happens to us.
Home schooling Locksley at a young age!
Nice threads.
The settlers of early Jamestown made all kinds of glassware with the abundance of fine sand around. Very amazing process. Interesting fact: a chemical in the sand of that area made the glass green, so every vessel from that period is green. Took an extra something to change colors later on.
Sweet! I find a green snake just before reaching the original settlement. Betcha Pocahontas wore one of these as a necklace.
Like how this pic came out.
Shows how big it is.
This tour guide was kinda irritating at first, then slowly morphed into someone who made history come amazingly alive! By the end I was so intrigued about everything. They thought until just recently that the original military settlement of Jamestown was underwater, but thanks to the research of a certain older fellow whose name escapes my mind right now, they dug in a different area and are now finding thousands upon thousand of artifacts every single day. Wow!
I love hugs.
Statue of Jon Smith. Man, doesn't look like the hunky Disney version. What gives.
This statue is actually located exactly where the original settlement once was (total accident on the part of those who erected it back in the 1920s). This, my friends, is where America began.
Digging as we speak, finding new things every single day.
We look like goobers.
This gal showed us artifacts they found THAT VERY DAY.
lol, Micaiah jumped into this shallow well to the amazement of some nearby 4th graders, only to quickly jump out as they all ran over with the teacher screaming, "Children, do NOT go in there!!!"
Such cute kids.
The man who discovered the real settlement of Jamestown. Instead of politely walking over and asking for a picture, the boys and I decided just to sneak behind him and point.
We've now taken over 2,000 pictures. It physically hurts to smile.
In the parking lot on our last day as we wait for the folks to get some groceries at Trader Joe's. Why not kill the time with a grocery cart race?
Willy listens to Uncle Jeff Flynn on the phone.
The drive to the airport. Goodbye, beloved family, and thank you for yet another absolutely wonderful vacation! Unforgettable!
A little travel trip. When reserving seats, choose a window and aisle seat. Rarely will someone choose a middle seat unless it's a full flight. Got our own row, baby! It was so nice, and William slept most of the way. Thank you, Lord.
And thank you, yet again, for stopping by and sharing another adventure with us. Lord bless you!
