Weekend Adventure

Keith has a four day weekend so we decided to make it as exciting as possible and keep busy. Today we went back to Jamestown again, but this time to the actual excavation site which is about a mile away from where we were last time. We had a good time.

Here is a picture of Keith and the kids standing at one of the only buildings to make it several hundred years on this site.



This picture is of Bridger standing right above the foundation of the actual little church- they have preserved it under glass- this church sits right on the James river and right outside they happened to be digging up graves today. They wanted to search the soil above the graves and redo the nameplates. Sounds like a cool job actually.



Picture of Captain John Smith looking out on the James River. We have learned so much about this man in the last couple of months that I feel like I really know him. That same little church is in the background.



Here is a pic of Jadyn sitting in front of some Memorial that I didn't get to read about, but it still looks good.



We happened to swing by Williamsburg on the way home- what a fantastic town that was. It was really breathtaking and anyone who lives there or goes to William and Mary College should consider themselves lucky. We have plans to go back and really explore that place.

Tomorrow we are going to Old Town Peterburg which is really right up the street from us. We discovered it accidently when I needed to get a microdermabrasion and ended up in this little piece of paradise surrounded by quaint shops and resturants. All the buildings date back to pre-civil war era and they are trying really hard to revitalize it. There were a ton of antique and consignment shops that I am dying to check out so that is tomorrow's agenda.

Sunday, I am hoping to go to church and Jadyn has a birthday party to attend, so that day is kinda of a bust. But I think we will have some friends over for dinner- they are requesting Steak Pinwheels!! And then on Monday we are going to go into Richmond and visit Hollywood Cemetery so we can see some famous graves- one is President John Tyler's whom the kids are just sure we are related too. And who doesn't love a good cemetery!?

My cornhusks came today! And I don't think I will have the time to swing the tamales this weekend--- a BIG maybe for Sunday, but I will keep you posted.
