Williamsburg!

Wow!! 
So, as if Chincoteague wasn't enought, we headed to South Carolina. As if THAT wasn't enough, on our way home, stopped by the ever beautiful WILLIAMSBURG! 
We met up with our dear friends, the Hamiltons. 
Henry was beyond himself @ seeing K-Kate, and couldn't wait to bust a move! 

 We left no time for the cobwebs to form, 
and sprang right into action by going to Historical Williamsburg. 


 Williamsburg is an amazing place! It has such charm. history. character and so attractive to all ages! 
 There may be nothing better then camping with friends! 
Our sight literally backed onto the playground. It was PERFECT. 
It was like our own back yard. It meant the adults were able really vacation as well.  

 Oh the frogs!! The FROGS! Charlie was charmed and fascinated by these creatures! 
They'ed come out at night, and were everywhere. 
This sweet boy was squealing with delight to catch one!!! 



Hank is a two-timer!! 
This is Sippie!!! 
And hank has a thing for older ladies!!! 
 I think I ate for 3 1/2 weeks straight, from one vacation to the next, and this was not exception!!! 
Displaying the oh so delectable banana boats!!! 
 Rise and shine campers!! 
When there weren't free pancakes to be had, we made our own!! 

So, Hank managed to loose 2 pairs of shoes! Lucky for him, Abby had extra sparkle shoes he sported for the trip! 
We took a Ferry ride (as did the car) across the river to enjoy some homemade strawberry ice cream, 
and baskets of hand picked, fresh strawberries and blueberries! 




 LOVE LOVE LOVE pick your own places!!! 
What is better then being in the sun, with your darling family, watching their chubby fingers 
pick the tiny berries (and mostly eating more then they pick)!!!! 
I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Really! 

 I had to put this picture in!! 
My tired/dirty/stinky little campers!! 
Oh how my heart rejoices!!! 
My 3 best friends!! I am so blessed! 




So, you missed the ferry? And, you've got hungry kids? 
You've got no where to go for 30 min, till the next ferry comes, so stay a while, 
put the car in park, and PICNIC! 
(in the middle of the road) 




Reviewing the history and story of Pochantas! 
I'm tellin ya, my kids were fascinated in the stories, and it was so fun to teach them, 
while I refreshed and learned myself!!! 
So fun that they are getting older, and can enjoy so much more of the vacation as well! 




Feast feast feast! 
More banana boats, HOMEMADE kettle Korn (oh bless my soul!!!) 
Mexican food, Indian food........Yum yum! 




This will be a vacation cherished for years!!! 
The camping, sleeping, traveling was a dream! Friends made it all that much better. 

The last night, I found a tick behind Hanks ear!!! GASP! 
The next day, there was one on Charlies thigh! 
We didn't get Limes disease, but did contract a 4th cycle of Hand foot and Mouth. 
We'd take that any day to make this trip again!!! 

Thanks Hamiltons (and Sip) for all the fun and memories!

I can't believe you are leaving us! We could have so many cute pics together but NOOOOOO! You had to do it didn't you! Looks like so much fun, all those cool places with fun friends. Cam really enjoyed the sparkle shoes. I wish I could go berry picking. Did you have an accident in one of those pics? Man your kids are getting big. My fav pick is the one of you and Jeff in the gallows or whatever they are called :) too fun and too cute! love you
