We had a chance to do some super fun touristing during the Summer break and took way too many pictures! We visited Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. One of the Colonial time business signs in Williamsburg read' "Sewing, Weaving, and Dyeing".
Somehow that sums up traveling with kids perfectly.
My favorite author Shannon Hale wrote, "Memory ached in its stone arches, crept down its narrow alleys..." This is the feeling I get when we visit these cherished sites. It always makes my heart full to discover the struggle, sacrifice and resilience of our early settlers. Did you know that 6 out of 7 people died in the Jamestown settlement? They would have never survived if it wasn't for the Powhatan tribe. It was perfect to visit these treasured spots right before Memorial Day. I'm so grateful for the people that have sacrificed to make this country so blessed and free and awesome!

What an awesome trip! We love to visit some of the more historical sights too, we should plan a trip to Jamestown or Mount Vernon together. I'm glad you guys had a good break. It was totally deserved, these boys work so hard! ( And because they do we have to...)
