Colonial Williamsburg

Due to his hard work and efficiency, Paul earned a 4 day weekend pass. We were originally planning to use it to go to Cleveland to paint our house, but before we could go, some renters moved in!!! That meant we had a last minute 4 day vacation we could take, so we decided to go to Colonial Williamsburg, which is a few hours away. Paul has an aunt uncle and cousin in the area who were kind enought to take us in on such short notice. Colonial Williamsburg is an old fashioned town where history has been preserved.


Our first sight was a horse that Logan was thrilled about. Aaron could care less, since all he could see was the back of daddy's shirt

Here is Logan taking to the life of an old fashioned outlaw...



...and here he is after being tried and covicted for his crimes. His sentence: 1 minute in the stocks!



Paul thought he would keep the little guy company while serving his sentence.




Aaron didn't have nearly the fun we had. He cried the whole time.


The next day we went to some Revolutionary War battlefields. Aaron was much happier that day, and Logan was enthralled by the cannons! He kept peeking his head in the barrel. Good thing they're not loaded!




Then we went to the beach in Yorktown.


We saw jellyfish in the shallow water! A first time for me, outside the Monterrey Bay Aquarium that is.
Logan loved wading his feet with Aunt Marilyn...

...while Aaron was content to play in the sand.

What a wonderful day, and a fantastic vacation!

Yeah for a free vacation and yeah for new renters! We were wondering what was going on over there! I must admit it would have been lots of fun to see you for 4 days!
