Williamsburg

We spent a few days this weekend/week in Williamsburg to celebrate Mother's Day and our Anniversary (8 years today!). We "won" this trip through one of those time share companies - give them 90 minutes of your time and they pay for 2 nights stay and give you some gift cards. SO... the "pitch" to buy was harder than we thought, but we succeeded in saying no. After that, we enjoyed some time away from home, doing pretty much what we do at home. Vacation with a 4 year old and a 2 year old looks a lot like life at home, just away. But it was joyful to be able to spend time together without the distractions of laundry, work, email, etc. Here are some pics.


Lunch at a yummy spot, "The Cheese Shop."





Anything can be made into a drum!






Even with all that there was to see, the boys just loved RUNNING around! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful place to run and play! Their favorite was riding in the stroller over the bumpy rocks! Who knew! In a few years we'll have to go back and enjoy more of the history that surrounded us.









We went down the Colonial Williamsburg Parkway and found a great spot to walk on the beach and throw rocks into the river. We stayed for about an hour. It was awesome, peaceful, fun, etc. I am not sure who had the most fun though, Matt or the boys! There was a stick out in the middle of the water that Matt was trying to reach. He tried valiantly! He came close a few times, but it was fun to watch him try. If I had known ahead of time how peaceful this was going to be, I could have brought a chair and a book! That is how great it was!
