Colonial Williamsburg

We will be leaving DC in 2 1/2 months. As is part of military life, we have a new assignment that will take us elsewhere. So we are trying to fit in as much stuff as we can while we are still here. We were pretty busy with babies the past 3 years so we haven't done as much as we had hoped when we originally set out on our journey here, baby free. So we are trying to make up for it now. We had heard that Colonial Williamsburg was a fun place to visit. It is about 2 1/2 hours from where we live but I told David we could stop at Sonic (the closest one is an hour away) and he was on board. So easy to convince men to do things-just involve food and they are down. So we loaded up the babies and we were off…

Quantico was on the way so we stopped to see Big Brother. We brought some blue hydrangeas because they remind me of him. Right after D3 died we got lots of flowers, but the very first ones were a potted plant of blue hydrangeas, and they were the ones that were around the longest. I nursed them right up until Christmas. When we buy a house some day my garden will be full of blue hydrangeas.

I feel like Rory still knows her big brother. She does little things that let me know she was very close to him not too long ago. 

After a stop at Sonic we continued on to Williamsburg. We were told by friends the tours are not very kid friendly, so we mostly just walked around and saw the buildings, watched some reenactments, and took some pictures. It was a pretty hot day so good thing we remembered the sunscreen.

Jax loved the horse. He said "oh wow!"

Again, watching the horses. He loves them. He obviously does not know my background with horses.  I don't do horses. So afraid. Not lying. 

This house is still currently used as a VIP welcoming place for the college of William and Mary. Overall it was a fun day. We got out of the house, learned some history, got to see our babe, and checked off one more thing on our list of things to see before we leave.
