williamsburg, virginia
We spent the past weekend in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. I went down with my sisters and the little ladies (ugh, 10 hours in the backseat with the little ladies). We met up with my grandparents, my dad, and his wife Kay. We had a great time. I love getting together with the 4 generations. I came home and found that I had only taken 100 pictures, that is soooooo unlike me! However, I still have some decent ones to share:
This little wren gave us a cheerful little welcome!
Fauna and Robin in a bit of trouble.
Little photographer in the making!
My favorite part of the visit, the fife and drums. Loved how they were perfectly in step with each other! I could listen to them all day!
Fauna enjoying cranberry sorbet on an almond cookie, I was enjoying a Dutch coffee at the time. Like the hat?
Fauna learning how to play hoops. HA, this was quite entertaining even though Fauna ended up with a bloody lip in the end. Surprised the college student made it through without any bruises or bleeding! Fauna eventually got the hang of it!
Loved this colonial mask!
Araina in her pretty pose.
A collage of photos taken by my sister Robin. She was the photographer on the trip!
OK, enough of that. Isn’t it bad enough that we make our families sit through vacation photos!
By the way, thanks for voting for me for Best Unschooling Blog 2009, I seem to be doing pretty well.
Holy Moly! I just got back from Williamsburg. I guess we were there at the same time. :O
That is a beautiful picture of Fauna in her hat!
What a great trip. We have always wanted to go to Williamsburg. Very long trip for us.
Blessings

now I want to go there!
I love the hat! And what a pretty pose Araina has, indeed.
By thew way, it looks like you are doing great with the votes!! Good luck!
Aww I love these pictures. You had a great weather too. When I pop in here to visit I always leave with a big smile. Your blog rocks!
I loved seeing your Williamsburg photos! If I can’t make it there myself, I can enjoy it through your camera lens. I do plan on visiting that place someday though…looks like so much fun!
Gorgeous pictures! You make me want to go!
What wonderful photos. I remember many a trip to Willamsburg when I was growing up.
Love that hat! Looks like a very fun get-away (ok, maybe not the 10 hours in the backseat part….) and reminds me that we need to start taking more small trips. There are so many wonderful things to see nearby!
Fauna looks gorgeous with that hat on! Beautiful place! Hope to visit some day…
Great shot of the fife and drums!!!
I’m from Virginia originally, and Williamsburg is one of my favorite places. We got to visit there in early December one year, for illumination night. It was so beautiful. I think I was in fifth grade, but I remember it all so well, especially the colonial Christmas decorations and wreaths. It looks like you had fun. Beth
Looks like you had a fabulous trip! Love the shot of Fauna in the straw hat
What a fun, fun trip!
…and congratulations on being nominated, what a wonderful group to share the honor with!
Looks like a fun trip. I love hanging out with my sisters and our kiddos! Great photos!
Oh….Colonial Williamsburg! I went there as a child and can’t wait to take Princess there in a few years. Fun!
sorbet on a cookie?! genius!
Great pictures! The mask is a little creepy, though.
You have much more self-control about your vacation pictures than I do. I think I posted about three days worth when we went to Williamsburg last Christmas.
Your sister’s photos are wonderful, too.
Looks like really fun trip! I love the photo of Fauna in the hat…too cute
My favorites are the last two taken by you.
That mask is a hoot.
An’ that baby is scrumptious.
Looks like a fun trip! Fauna looks so grown up in her hat nibbling on that cookie.
Noah LOVES fife and drum music! We just have to get there someday. What a great place!
Glad you had a fun trip. We were there a couple years ago-brings back memories. You take some long trips with those kiddos-they must be good travelers.
Fauna looks so lovely in the hat! It makes me want to wear the straw hat I wear at the farm. Don’t you love living history?
Beautiful! Beautiful photos, beautiful trip!!
The collage was great! I’m glad you had a good trip!
How fun! It looks like everyone had a good time. Only 100 photos? I can do that in a few minutes!! : )
I like the collage. And that little wren is too cute! Glad you had fun, despite the 10 hours in the backseat!!!

I love history stuff.
I went over and voted for you and yeah, you go mama! You’re doing great.
That really does look like fun! I can’t get over how warm it looks…
Looks like so much fun! That cookie and sorbet have me drooling!
